2) The zone assignment is very good way to manage network security configuration. But if you are traveling with computer (notebook), it isn't good idea to force users to remember which zone was assigned last. There could be some easy way to switch your network profiles and it's security. I know, there is a NetworkManager, but does it manage security side of networking (firewall)? Is there any existing comfortable way to manage firewall profiles eg. by some applet?
There is the package "fwzs" that should provide a "Tray applet that allows to switch firewall zones of interfaces". For its sources see https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=fwzs&project=devel%3AopenSUSE%3AFactory and http://gitorious.org/opensuse/fwzs But I am neither a user nor a developer of "fwzs" and I don't know whether or not "fwzs" is still actively maintained/developed because according to http://gitorious.org/opensuse/fwzs and according to "osc cat openSUSE:Factory fwzs fwzs.changes | head" the last "fwzs" changes happened in October 2011.
