Please describe the problem:
I have been frustrated with the locations support in Ubuntu, which does not work
well for laptops who keep multiple network profiles ... which is what I think
the locations in the network configuration tool is supposed to provide.

Here is what I do.

1. Go to System --> Administration --> Networking.
2. Click Location --> Create Location.
3. Type "home" into field.
4. Click Wireless connection --> Properties.
5. Type ESSID and click Configuration --> DHCP.
6. Click OK.
7. Click Activate.
8. Click Okay.

It works. When I go back into it at work there is the same information for home
in the wireless properties, but nothing in the location section.

I then procede to follow the steps mentioned above to create a profile called
"work" with its settings .. ESSID and IP address.

When I get home, I click location bar and go to "Home" on the list. It says the
Wireless connection is not configured. What? The steps I put at the beginning
were the steps I used to created ... and even confirmed by clicking okay on all
necessary menus. If I go to HOME and reconfigure it by typing ESSID and IP
address ... it will not save settings for WORK.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new LOCATION.
2. Edit ESSID and IP settings for SPECIFIC LOCATION.
3. Create a new LOCATION.
4. Edit ESSID and IP settings for SPECIFIC LOCATION.
5. Shut down computer and have a pizza.
6. Load my FIRST SPECIFIC LOCATION.
7. Look in amazement as interface says NOT CONFIGURED or has settings from
PREVIOUS LOCATION.

Actual results:
The feature of the locations bar leads a laptop user to believe that multiple
network profiles can be kept and switched back and forth when needed without
having to re-enter or re-configure. Does not work.

Expected results:
I expect that the IP address and ESSID settings that were set upon creation of
that location will be STORED with THAT location AFTER the creation of several
more profiles. Interface leads a laptop user to believe that I should be able to
have 6 separate configurations and have them all be set when I choose location
from the dropdown.

Does this happen every time?
As often as I wake up in the morning and see my skin is brown.

Other information:
Developer at ubuntu bugzilla says that the way it forgets the settings from
previous location is the way the program is INTENDED to work and it should be
clarified in the interface. They also say that it should be filed as NOTABUG.

This is much like Internet Explorer crashing is a FEATURE that Microsoft
intended. I think it was filed as NOTABUG too.
