The issue that led me to post as a papercut is the two appear to use the same information and perform the same task on the surface. In depth it is confusing which tool should be used for what configuration and which tool will proved a "still there after reboot" configuration.
I think modifying the choice of words in the dialogs will correct the confusability concern. thyis issue is more apparent on a uswer coming from a Windows or Mac environment where launching a single tool/interface dialog/wizard does it all.
