Posting here in hopes of getting this bumped to a higher priority; not sure it's the same bug but the title is exactly acurate:
I am running Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)
to reproduce:
- open network-admin
- (optional, I think) change some settings (for example, I've specified an alternate DNS server)
- click the save button next to the "Location" drop down menu; type a name and click 'Save"
- reboot
When you open network manager again, the location will be blank, and the settings will have gone back to defaults (from dhcp I suspect). Choosing the saved location does change the settings as expected, but this is a hassle to have to do every time the computer is booted.
Alternately, instead of rebooting, you can close network-admin and just run 'sudo dhclient' and it will clear the Location.
Expected behavior would be that one could choose a default location, or the last used location and settings would be used.
