There is an argument for having a menu item "open config

it in the menu? When we get dialup support, there might be an argument
for having a configure item for those, however.
This is a (relatively) common use case for me. I often need to connect
my laptop to ad-hoc networks which do not have DHCP, hence I need to
configure a static address, and static routes. Currently I do this
through the command-line, but it would be nice to do it using the GUI.
I understand that I am in a very small minority here, but this would be
useful for people in a Field Engineer type role.
Thanks,
