Changing IP addresses works for me using the install and live CD from 30.03.05

Most of the following points (not all) are confirmed for the live and the install CD

works:
 * changing IP address
 * adding and removing nameservers works
 * editing an existing /etc/hosts
 * setting the "Activate when the computer starts" option puts "auto eth0
     into /etc/network/interfaces works when IP is static 
 * removing the "Activate when the computer starts" option (ones it has been set) 
    removes "auto eth0" from /etc/network/interfaces if IP is static
 * setting the hostname
 * enabling / disabling the interface

does not work:
 * setting / changing the route
 * it's not possible to edit the "search" option in /etc/resolv.conf
 * removing the "Activate when the computer starts" option (ones it has been set)
     doesn't remove "auto eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces if IP is from dhcp
 * setting the "Activate when the computer starts" option puts "auto eth0" into 
    /etc/network/interfaces does not work when IP is from dhcp
 * setting the hostname addes the new hostname to the existing one as an alias in
    /etc/hosts. It won't show up in the list of "Static Hosts" though until you
    got out of the module and start it again.
 * setting the domain does not work

sometimes I have the options to press "Apply" twice and it will show the "Reloading
Network" again - nothing changes though.
