+ <para>Each network interface of a Mageia system is initially configured with a fix
+set of parameters. This corresponds to what is expected by a user of a
+desktop computer, but may not be adequate when the system is moved between
+various network environments: having the system run in different network
+environments will require that multiple configurations co-exist for a given
+network device - otherwise the interface might need to be re-configured each
+time the network environment changes.</para>

+ <para>Linux provides support for multiple configurations of network devices as a
+standard feature. The notion of a <emphasis role='bold'>"network
+profile"</emphasis> refers to a set of configurations of network devices,
+defined for a specific network environment. Each network profile has a
+<emphasis role='bold'>name</emphasis> - the initial configuration that comes
+out of system generation has the name <emphasis>"default"</emphasis>; when a
+new profile is created, a name must be specified which is different from all
+already existing profile names.</para>

+
+ <para>The upper zone of the window contains the list of the names of all presently
+defined profiles. The bottom zone presents a series of buttons:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>"Activate" ... establish the selected profile (top zone of the window) as

+ <listitem>
+ <para>"Quit" ... exit from Draknetprofile.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>Before hitting the "Activate" or the "Delete" button, you have to select a
+profile from the list: select it by a left-button click on the name of the
+target profile.</para>
+
+ <para>Hitting the "New" button will launch an auxiliary window where you can type
+the name of the profile you want to create; this name must be different from
+any already existing profile. This profile will be created as a precise copy
+of the currently active profile and immediately activated as the current
+profile. You will probably then need to specify its properties (modify the
+automatically created configuration) in a second, independent action:</para>

+ <para>you then go through the steps for configuring the interface; they are

+system generation - as documented in the <link

+
+ <para>The middle zone of the window is normally hidden, hit the "Advanced" button
+to make it visible. It should display the list of names of Draknetprofile
+<emphasis role='bold'>"modules"</emphasis> (such as "network", "firewall",
+"urpmi"), each with a check-button next to the name; these check-buttons
+determine whether the properties controlled by that module are included into
+the profile or not.</para>

+profile that was active when the system had been shut down).</para>
+
+ <para>Presently (Mageia-5) there appears to be an intermittent problem: it happens
+that the system becomes unresponsive after soliciting the user to select a
+profile. The only way out of this situation is to launch another boot. This
+problem is under investigation.</para>
