Basically, network-admin was designed as a generic GUI to configure distribution-specific ways of handling network. Since then, NetworkManager has become the new system that most distributions use, since it allows for better integration within the desktop, and a more flexible handling of connections (roaming...). You may have noticed that today in Ubuntu, all connections are marked as "roaming mode" in network-admin, meaning that the latter tool does not take care of them at all, letting them to NetworkManager.
So the only remaining bits are those few settings you listed, which are Unix standards, easy to configure. NetworkManager could add a new tab to nm-connections-editor, since it would be stupid to use a complete tool for that. I'm not aware of any discussion about that, but that may be worth a mail to them. -- Default Ubuntu Jaunty install does not include System->Administration->Network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/409475 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
