Thanks for your answer. I don't know have i last network-admin version
(network-admin --version Gnome network-admin 2.14.0). But it steel
buggy. By default i use setting from /etc/network/interfaces.
I don' run network-admin since i posted bug report.
But now i run it. There was one places moscow_home, i selected it (i
don't know what was in /etc/gnome-system-tools/networks/profile.xml),
but new ip address become another, from my old work. I fix it and add
new place "kafedra", i switch betwean places, all switching work, but
slowly, after restart network-admin, all ipaddress was permutated, avery
time then i change ipaddres of moscow_home, after restart network-admin
it steel old. It can't changed.
