Great! Thanks a lot... I had already added my interface to 
ETHERNET-INTERFACES but since i was trying to use inetmenu as non root 
user, it would not pick it up... I had added it to default/inetmenu and 
it did pick it up but it still didn't work... I've removed it from 
default/inetmenu and it now picks it up fine from ETHERNET-INTERFACES. 
I've also created profiles with dns and all is good now... Just need to 
figure out the RBAC thing and i'll be flying! Even like this it just 
takes me doing su...

Thanks a lot! you saved my laptop :)
