[Bug 359491] Re: Not possible to configure IP manually in kubuntu Jaunty

[Thomas K]

I saw the same thing. I think it runs in prefix format, according to:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/293749/+viewstatus

In short, "24" is the equivalent of "255.255.255.0". I can confirm that
it will store the number 24.

The general usability of setting up for a static IP address is naff: for
example, when you click "add", the first screen is about MAC address and
MTU size, both of which 99% of users will never want to change. You
enter IP addresses in a list, although you generally only need one,
while DNS servers, where it's common practice to have two, are in a
single textbox, and you are left to work out for yourself that a comma-
separated list is expected.

I suggest we generalise this bug to be about all of this rather rough
UI.
