Comment 19 for bug 259278

I don't know if this is related to this bug, however: today I connected for the first time my notebook to the wired network of the university where I work. I need to set a manual ip configuration with the ip address assigned to my notebook to have the connection working, even if the gateway I connect to has a dhcp server running (that is used for students that connect to the wireless netwok using a vpn client). What is happened is that knetworkmanager as boot establish a dhcp connection to the gateway, and it assigns me an ip address that doesn't work for me; then I create a new connection with the correct values for ip address and netmask, using the 'new connection' menu from knetworkmanager, and choosing the manual ip configuration. Neverthless, when I try to save the connection and to connect, nothing happens, and a look to syslog gives me this message:
