Wired connections usually do not require complicated or manual configuration. The hardware interface and signal presence are automatically detected, and then Network Manager sets the actual network settings via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

You can then add, edit, or remove known wireless networks, and also specify which ones you want connected by default when present.
