Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
uname -a output: Linux lightning 2.6.31-11-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 25 06:37:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
Karmic alpha 6 with updates up to the current time
CPU model name : VIA Samuel 2
With a default /etc/network/
It does not save any of the settings, and remains to have the IP address from dhcp. I have to hand-edit /etc/network/
I have the resolvconf package installed, but this was happening even without resolvconf installed.

Notes about the UI:
- The fields for entering IPs, masks, etc. are very narrow - it's necessary to drag the edges of the dialogs to provide enough space.
- You can't use tab or space to move from field to field - you have to use the mouse to move from the IP field to the netmask field, etc. If there is a reasonable keyboard way to do this, it isn't clear what that might be.
