As an overall that goes for the wired network too. Something called NetworkManager should handle location/profile managment as well. If the wired network is selected (or is the only interface), then your choice of wired network profiles should show up, with a "New..." option at the end. There's a whole lot use cases there, but that should demonstrate.
