Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I use ubuntu 8.10.
I do following steps:
1. Put ethernet cable into card (there's only printer there with static IP, I use direct connection with crossed cable).
2. Network Manager attempts to find IP.
3. I open connections configuration dialog, seek for "Auto eth0" connection
4. I edit this connection, change name to "printer", disable automatic connecting, system setting checkbox (whatever that means) and configure static IP.
5. After reboot, there's no "printer" connection, there's only "Auto eth0" again.
I've encountered situation where putting cable again caused similar result but I cannot reproduce it.
Please let me know how can I provide you more detailed information.

I found that if I create new connection instead of modyfing "auto eth0", it remains after reboot. Seems that "auto eth0" is always recreated, no matter if that causes any other connection to lost.
