Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I have added a new wireless connection with a WPA2 password and a manual IP address, like this:
IP address: 180.180.180.11, Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 180.180.180.254
I also added two DNS servers.
The connection is flawless (pass my compliments to whoever responsible for this, I could never get it to work on Hardy). However, when I edit the wireless connection again, for some reason, the Netmask changes to 24. Just 24. The connection still works. Everything else is the same.
network-manager version: 0.7~~svn2008090
I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Alpha 5.

This is not a bug.
Ref. http:// en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Netmask
The 24 means it is a 24 bit subnetwork, which is just another way of saying 255.255.255.0.
