Comment 19 for bug 382161

Aron, you've described a couple of issues, which although related, should be considered separate problems with their own bugs.

Please re-test the latest Karmic daily image ( which is essentially the RC for the final Karmic release ), or if you already have a Karmic install, make sure you've pulled down all the updates for it. If you continue to experience the problems described above ( "Can't edit auto eth0", "Can't make Wired connection default", "Static DNS settings don't work" ), then please report them as three separate bugs using the command "ubuntu-bug network-manager" ( via a terminal or Alt+F2 / Run application ).
