Little comment.
Changing gatway in network-admin seems to not affect
/etc/network/interfaces.
adress & netmask seems to work, but not gatway.

Step to reproduce :
- enter a gatway & an adress for an interface in network-admin
- close it
- check /etc/network/interfaces. adress is there but not gatway.
- reopen network-manager, adress is ok, but gatway is left blank.

I can confirm that.
I'm using the latest version provided with Ubuntu Edgy Knot3.

I added the gateway by hand to /etc/network/interfaces
in order to make it work.

I have 2 network cards, don't know if this info could be useful.
Comment 2 Jeff Greene 2006-09-24 19:33:12 UTC 
I can also confirm that it does not save the gateway in Ubuntu Edgy Knot 3. It works with DHCP, but the gateway is blank after trying to save it with a static ID address.
