Hi Timothy Murphy!

I believe they are using an automated environment overseen by NetworkManager.

To play in a bit more static environment (from gnome desktop):

System > Administration > Services
Un-check NetworkManager
Checki Network (about 2/3 down the list)
Save!
Reboot or restart service.

Enjoy!
