Comment 3 for bug 279457

I can confirm it as well -- unlike Chris above, when I deleted the connection and created a new one with the "system setting" box checked, it did not save the setting. This is especially vexing because I'm letting my girlfriend use my laptop for the time being, and created an account for her -- and Network Manager won't show up for her if I switch to her account as a result of this.

Hopefully this is fixed in Jaunty in a couple of days.
Thanks.
