No, they have not. In SL6, they have removed the old graphical system-config-network tool, so either use nm-connection-editor or vi. (The new system-config-network is a text-mode gui with every useful function of the old tool removed, except for the most trivial ones. For example one cannot remove the binding of network interfaces to specific mac addresses helpfully created by the SL installer to ensure that your system stops working if you replace the network card or the motherboard or move the disks to a spare chassis). -- Konstantin Olchanski Data Acquisition Systems: The Bytes Must Flow!
