How to reproduce the bug:
Open Network from menu Desktop, click on "location" and "create location".

configuration its'nt possible.

BTW I don't have this issue here. Do you have any message in ~/.xsession-errors
? What version of the package are you using ?

I haven't error message ~/.xsession-errors, the pkg is Gnome network-admin 1.1.4.1.
Surely the location can't be deleted, but i think that it has some problems
also with /etc/interfaces/network.
I can't try on a different net to compare the results, but it seems don't
produce a right gateway and don't handle the authentication with wireless.
I'm not sure about thats last point, but u can try to reproduce my configuration
with your net.

I've to interfaces eth0 and wlan0

eth0 works on 172.16.0.somenumber
gtw 172.16.0.1

eth0 is static

wlan0 is based on dlink 650+
192.168.1.somenumber
gtw 192.168.1.1

About eth0 i've configured manually the gateway in /etc/interfaces/network
because it did'nt work with Gnome network-admin 1.1.4.1..
About wlan0 i've configured manually the auth in /etc/interfaces/network because
it did'nt configure with Gnome network-admin 1.1.4.1.

Really i've tried also a USR805410, the bios is correctly loaded but it seems
don't work , i dunno why, this is another stuff.

what revision of the package are you using (dpkg -l gnome-system-tools) ? could
you attach a broken /etc/network/interfaces generated by network-admin ?

gnome-system-tools 1.1.4.1-0ubuntu4

now with this package all seems work a little better. Anyway this is my path

1) i start with a clean /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

2) I use network tools to configure my net. This is my /etc/networks after my
configuration
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wireless_essid USR8916
wireless_key s:*********

auto wlan0

iface eth0 inet static
address 172.16.0.25
netmask 255.255.0.0
gateway 172.16.0.1

this is a good start, but anyway i can't choice option like channel or mode from
the tools. And the char 's' in the key is because i know this tip, but i'm not
sure that a newbye know it.

3) I start again the tool and i switch to "Location=ufficio", i delete this
location and i shut the tool.
at this point my /etc/network/interface is this

iface eth0 inet static
address 172.16.0.25
netmask 255.255.0.0

auto eth0

i start again the tool and "Location=ufficio" is still there. I can't switch
another location and i must restart again, so the location=ufficio is undeletable.

Of course i've tried to erase this location also with another sort steps, but
the result is the same.
