Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

<In hardy with the most current build>

Network-admin does not add the "auto <iface>" to the start of the interfaces config and this causes the interface to fail coming up on boot. This can be reproduced by using network-admin to set a static IP address.

Confirmed it in hardy beta, quite easy to do and quite irritating to.
Worth to comment, in gutsy it didn't happen.
