Wizards are for dumb window users not Linux fans.. and did some one tell you
about rpm and pkgadd(1) these do just the job which you are looking at

perhaps what you need is a Network configurator tool ideally because that is
where a lot of ex-windows  guys suffer when it comes to networking Linux,
(though with the right card and driver it is rather simple), also
configuring the whole NET related stuff ( for e.g. dialup, DNS, SENDMAIL,
etc..) would be ideal
