Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Ubuntu release: 8.10 (AMD64)
network-manager: Installed: 0.7~~svn2008101
When I set up my wired interface to use a static IP, the configuration switches back to DHCP after a reboot.
steps to reproduce:
1. right-click on the network manager applet icon and select Edit Connections...
2. click on "Auto eth0" and click Edit
3. in the IPv4 tab: set Method to Manual and click Add to add a new static IP address.
my settings: Address: 192.168.0.2; Netmask: 255.255.255.0; Gateway: 192.168.0.1; DNS Servers: 192.168.0.1
4. click OK.
now the thing to note is that this new configuration is not applied automatically - I have to left-click the NM-applet icon and then select Auto eth0 to make it switch to the new settings.
5. reboot. eth0 switches back to DHCP and there is no sign I have ever visited the connection preferences window.
