     The <guilabel>Network</guilabel> settings window has a menu on the left-hand side showing the available network devices or interfaces. This includes software interfaces such as for VLANs, bridges, bonds, and teams. On the right-hand side the <firstterm>connection profiles</firstterm> are shown for the selected network device or interface. A profile is a named collection of settings that can be applied to an interface. Below that is a plus and minus button for adding and deleting new network connections, and on the right a gear wheel icon will appear for editing the connection details of the selected network device or VPN connection.
