[Bug 69741] network-admin does not store changes

[peridot]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-network

I have just upgraded from a fairly clean dapper install to edgy, and I
find I cannot use network-admin to change any settings. For example, my
wifi card happened to be disabled when I upgraded. So when I open
network-admin (either as me or via sudo) it appears as disabled, with a
minus sign next to it rather than the check mark that is next to my
ethernet card. So I open the properties dialog, click on "enable", and
hit okay... and nothing changes. The dialog disappears and the
networking system is in exactly the state it was before. I see the same
behaviour if I try to disable my ethernet adapter. "sudo ifup eth1"
successfully brings up my wifi card.

The practical result, for now, is that I have to use the terminal to use
my wifi card. But when it comes to WEP, passwords, and so on, I'd really
prefer to be able to use the tool designed for the task.
