Network Settings gateway bug is NOT fixed as claimed

Mentioned bug is gor GNOME and not KDE config tool.

I cannot reproduce this on up-to-date Dapper. If you can reproduce, please publish your /etc/network/interfaces file after the change.
Is this with wired or wireless interface?

See attachments:

interfaces-1 is the hand-constructed /etc/network/interfaces that
works (i.e. gives me the correct network connectivity).

I then entered network settings

Note that the gateway editbox was empty.

Entered 192.168.0.1 into the gateway edit box and hit the Apply
button which became greyed (as expected).

interfaces-2 is the resulting /etc/network/interfaces and is missing
the gateway entry.

BTW why does the network settings dialog box exceed the screen size
vertically at 1024x768 and is not resizeable until after
administrator mode is entered (of course this requires one to know
that one can Alt-drag the box so as to make the Administrator Mode
button visible first!!!).

The above performed immediately after performing an adept-update.

The interface is a wired interface, fwiw.

Sorry, that means going round the forgotten password loop again. Here
they are, in-line:

1. Hand-crafted before using Network Settings
=============================================
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
 script grep
 map eth0

# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

auto eth0
=====================================

2. After Apply in Network Settings, having configured
a gateway address of 192.168.0.12:
=====================================
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
 script grep
 map eth0

# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.254.0

auto eth0
===================================

I cannot reproduce this problem on my system. I have tried by configuring gateway both in Routes tab as well as in Advanced Options of particular interface - in both cases gateway is properly written in /etc/network/interfaces and network works.
If you have used Routes tab, can you confirm that you had the right interface set on the right side?

Please report back if this is still reproducable with latest Dapper knetworkconf (3.5.2-0ubuntu6 or newer).

I consider this bug fixed, but if you can reproduce it with dapper, please feel free to reopen.
