My whole point in that is:  If it cannot do the job its purported to be 
assigned, how did it ever get past QC?

At no point here, has anyone offered to help me understand how to do such a 
mundane thing as make the networking actually work, when the user/installer  
has no access to the apply button in the gui tools provided.

All I have been told to do is undo that which I did, and which works.

I know things change, hopefully to work even better, but regressive change 
is not progress.  This "Unity" you called it is regressive. Eye candy with 
no purpose that I have been able to detect.

From what I have read in this folder, since I dump kubuntu posts into this 
folder too, one gets a better working kubuntu by pulling in kde than you 
get from a kubuntu install.  So thats next I guess.

Cheers, Gene

Most places distinguish them merely by using the appropriate value.
