I have something like that on my wife's laptop with FC2.  It surely
took a careful reading of documentation and some tries but it was
possible to do.  I am surely not touching it without a backup as it
is enough to look at it from a wrong angle and all profiles are the
same.  Still it works for some definition of "work".

This indeed sounds like a throwback to early days.

Well, "destroys" in that sense that you had some network
configuration, you tried to produce another one in what seemed like
a different profile, and now the original is gone.  It seems that
this is what you are describing as the current behaviour?
