Crash report for Network Management wisard.

I have an HP PRO Liant DL 160 G6 server with installed Red Hat Linux Enterprise.

Yesterday, on the 14/07/2010 I used the following administration tool: System -> Administration -> Network

But today, on the 15/07/2010 i go the following bug report: see the attachment.

Could you please help with this issue. This is my first experience with Linux OS.

Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Anton

From crash log:
Component: system-config-network
Version: 1.3.99.18
Summary: TB0a0f70ae maindialog.py:602:hydrateProfiles:TypeError: sequence item not a string or unicode object

Traceback (most recent call last):

This is actually not NetworkManager package, rather system-config-network GUI, that is involved here. So switching it over to the component.

Anton, there is quite comprehensive documentation on RHEL. See these links about network configuration:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.5/html/Deployment_Guide/pt-network-related-config.html
or for the upcoming release (prefers NetworkManager to older system-config-network):
