Hi, your last remark makes me wonder whether you are using Gnome3. Note that gnome-shell in Gnome3 itself has a NetworkManager integration. That is similar in purpose and appearance to nm-applet. But nm-applet is a separate application. Likewise, Gnome3's control-center has a built-in connection-editor. That's not the same as nm-connection-editor. While gnome-control- center's NetworkManager GUI does not support bonding/vlan, nm- connection-editor does. Just to clear that up -- it is indeed confusing. Use whatever GUI suits you. best, Thomas
