Bug Description

If a static IP is set via Webmin the server reverts to DHCP. It seems that confconsole is overriding the settings made by Webmin?

Obviously this isn't a huge bug, but a bug never the less IMO. It can be worked around by setting static IP in confconsole.

The issue came to light in the forums, see this thread: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/support/20110630/turnkey-linux-refuses-keep-static-ip-address

I have changed this to "won't fix" as it applies to v11.x. Now v12.0 rebased on Debian, hopefully it is no longer an issue (especially considering that the bug I thought it was related to has been fixed) . If someone finds that it is still an issue, then please target v12.x and change this bug back to "New".

Thanks
