I've used that tool extensively since it first appeared in RHL 8.0 or 9,
and it works quite well. You make differente profiles (home, work, hotel,
whatever). Then you make a COPY (not an alias, a copy) of each interface
for every profile in which you want to use that interface (if you only use
one interface at work, you only need to create that one copy, not one for
every interface). Then you tell redhat-config-network which interfaces to
activate on each profile. Works like a charm.
You can also then do the netprofile thing someone mentioned in your
grub.conf, so you can boot up your machine and tell GRUB which profile to
use right from the start. I don't normally do this on my notebook, but only
because I standby or suspend between meetings mostly. Get to the new
network, change the profile, restart the network, and away we go.
