Bug Description

I've just upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty, and the custom settings I had associated with "Auto eth0" (simple things; just turning DHCP off to specify a manual IP, netmask, gateway, and DNS) were overwritten when the upgrade changed the "Auto eth0" DHCP back on.

The expected behavior is to retain my custom preferences through the upgrade.

Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
network-manager:
  Installed: 0.7.1~rc4-0ubuntu1

Well, the best I can say is that I don't think it happened when I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic, though my current usage of the system on which the bug occurred is such that it's possible that it may have happened without my noticing.

The issue was a settings change during an upgrade, so in order to reproduce, I'd have to revert and then upgrade again.
