gnome-system-tools 1.1.4.1-0ubuntu4

now with this package all seems work a little better. Anyway this is my path

1) i start with a clean /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

2) I use network tools to configure my net. This is my /etc/networks after my
configuration
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
wireless_essid USR8916
wireless_key s:*********

auto wlan0

iface eth0 inet static
address 172.16.0.25
netmask 255.255.0.0
gateway 172.16.0.1

this is a good start, but anyway i can't choice option like channel or mode from
the tools. And the char 's' in the key is because i know this tip, but i'm not
sure that a newbye know it.

3) I start again the tool and i switch to "Location=ufficio", i delete this
location and i shut the tool.
at this point my /etc/network/interface is this

iface eth0 inet static
address 172.16.0.25
netmask 255.255.0.0

auto eth0

i start again the tool and "Location=ufficio" is still there. I can't switch
another location and i must restart again, so the location=ufficio is undeletable.

Of course i've tried to erase this location also with another sort steps, but
the result is the same.
