Bug Description
When I changed to a static IP adress the network connection didn't work. If I manually did a 'ifup eth0' it was OK though. Looking at /etc/network/
My system is Hardy Heron 8.04 devel up-to-date as of 080125.
This is what I got:
iface eth0 inet static
address 130.x.x.x
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 130.x.x.x
This is what it should be:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 130.x.x.x
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 130.x.x.x

After fiddling some more with network-admin I have found another problem, the DNS tab doesn't work. If you unlock and perhaps add a DNS-server nothing happens to resolv.conf. Even if I save my settings to a location and apply it nothing happens.
