system-config-network has a notion of profiles (but must be run as root or
profile must be specified at boot time).
NetworkManager is a real whiz-bang app that detects network connections
dynamically. Plug in a cable and it switches to cable, unplug it and it
looks for wireless connections. It manages keys, allows you to select
among in-range WAPs or create an ad-hoc net, controls VPN access (using
vpnc only at the moment), controls modems (untested by me ATM) and rescans
on suspend/resume to find the new connections.
Get the one in updates-testing, which is working pretty well.
