No idea - never used the GUI, literally. The most I've every used that was
"GUI" (for small values of GUI), was system-config-network.

Is this on a laptop, or are you hardwired? If the latter, you can just
edit /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0,
then restart the network.

Don't see why, unless you absolutely don't want to deal with the network
other than through that GUI.

Btw, if you close that "your system is not supported", you can go to the
rightmost tab and add a new profile. I'm *NOT* going to try that out on my
system here at work, but I'll wager that you can then edit the other tabs.
