Description Robert Nagle 2006-06-30 06:22:13 UTC
I've noticed that when using multiple profiles in system-config-network tool, I
have a lot of problems switching from a DHCP configuration to a static IP
configuration and vice versa. This is true not only when switching from one wifi
device to another (logical and real), but also when switching from ethernet to
wifi and back. 

I need a way to turn off one profile and turn on another. I can uncheck one of
my wifi profiles, but I haven't been able to maintain both profiles (keeping one
active and the other inactive). Practically speaking, I seem able only to keep
one wifi profile which I have to modify as needed. 

For testing there needs to be a use case to verify that it is possible to
maintain two profiles with separate static and IP configurations. On my hardware
and my wifi networks, it doesn't seem to be possible.
