@Richard: I think I understand what Mathieu mean. At least, I see a case where
it can be useful: imagine you want to reconfigure the box ip adress remotely.
You may don't want it to be applied immediately, but for example at next reboot.
So from my point of view, there should be a apply now AND
Sorry, I was not 100% complete in the previous note: when you change to
static and clic apply... for the first time in Live mode, *something*
happen immediately which leads the box to be disconnected from the
network. So new changes are not effectively applied. Then , While
disconnected, the
Based of the expected behavior described by Mathieu, there is still an issue
within the Live mode of ubuntu (Live CD/USB).
Basically , in this mode, changing from DHCP (default) to static and clic
apply... effectively applies changes _immediatly_ (which is not expected

I can confirm this bug on a fresh ubuntu 10.04.4 (lucid). All you have
to do to reproduce is installing, open network manager, set static ip
adress and you'll see that you are disconnected (and never connected

It means in clear, that if you need to change the ip

the settings.
What you'll want to do is edit the connection settings, then click on
Well, actually won't fix in this case because the title is should
change immediately, which is explicitly what I describe above as
something we don't want to do.
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed = Won't Fix

Who expects this behavior? I would expect that when I'm editing the
active connection, the changes are applied immediately. That fact that I
can edit inactive connections is not relevant to how it should behave
when I'm editing an active connection.
