Right... It's not a menu driven thing, it's a command line utility. Without
other parameters, it just presents your current configuration. Add other
parameters and it'll configure something. However, if you're running RedHat (or
one of it's derivatives), you probably want to use netconfig/linuxconf, since
it'll sometimes undo things you do with the normal config files and commands.

The driver for that one is called "tulip".
