I found out that my problem was at least partially that I did not check 'connect automatically' in the edit dialog.
As with Tom Wood in #19, the default gateway does not work - I had to issue a "route add default gw ..." command as well. However the dialog for adding additional routes does work .. possibly that will work for the default route if you enter the right numbers. I note that a new applet and its icon have been added to the panel - 'Network Connections' - this runs the same connection editor. Also the NetworkManager Applet 0.7.996 now works to connect and disconnect the configured interface(s). I did have some trouble editing the initial eth0 connection, when first starting the connection editor. Perhaps I didn't have the focus on the line for that connection, and didn't click on it. The first line of the list should have the focus set on it by default - a small user-interface issue. And I repeat an earlier comment - you have to click with the mouse on every field to enter IP, mask, gateway, etc. on a line - it would be better to use a tab or space to move from field to field (Try the corresponding MS Windows dialog! - and I'm not a Windows advocate.) The principal remaining functional issue is that the default gateway doesn't work. Without that, this is NOT FIXED. -- NetworkManager fails to set IP and route information entered https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
