Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
When configuring a network device with a static IP using network-admin, parameters are saved but not applied. In order to have static IP set, you have to reboot the computer or to type "sudo /etc/init.
This is a bug because static IP should be applied automatically right after it has been configured in network-admin and it should not need to reboot or manual restart through terminal.
Steps to reproduce :
1. Have a connexion in Roaming mode, DHCP
2. Open network-admin
3. Configure the connexion to use static IP and close network-admin
Result :
The network is still not configured in static IP and you can't use the network at all unless you type "sudo /etc/init.
