Bug Description

when using "network-admin"

it does not save gateway details in /etc/network/interfaces

when using the Network adminstration applet, and setting IP details with manually, the gateway ip address is not written to the /etc/network/interfaces file.

As far as I can tell, this is the only field not saved.
In my case the interface is "eth1" I dont know if a gateway is saved for other interface configurations.

I need to edit the file manually to insert the gateway address.
