CentOS - Dec 2007 - what happened to netconfig in 5.1

I am doing a yum install netconfig on the new 5.1
and nothing gets installed. Was it removed? replaced with something else?

yum provides netconfig does not show a "bin" command just false
matches.

Is there a new command?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hello,
>From http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.1/ it looks
like that it has been removed.  I haven't had time to look for an
alternative yet.

As it happens, I *just* read this in the RHEL5.1 release notes a few
moments ago:

* pump is deprecated in this update. As such, configuring your network
  interface through netconfig may result in broken ifcfg scripts.

  To properly configure your network interface, use system-config-network
  instead. Installing the updated system-config-network package removes
  netconfig.

Looks like system-config-network has replaced it. AHHH!
when I run this command it does not show my eth0 as forcedeth
it is showing my T1 digium card as eth0.

Very shocked this command was removed from 5.0 to 5.1 release. What are 
they thinking?

To make matters worse - I just ran system-config-network. It does
not automatically stop the existing dhcpclient running.
Netconfig used to do this.

I used to let DHCP run to setup the box as I install the OS.
Later when I receive IP information - I would just run netconfig.
then do service network restart and the box would be live.

When I run system-config-network it gives me errors about the
dhcpclient still running.
