I've found something that could clear this issue. The network applet
functions properly if I do a manual install. The problem persists in the
environment with a PXE installation.

The file /etc/network/interfaces on a manual install looks like this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

For some reason, the PXE install adds another 2 lines:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

If the last 2 lines are erased, the network applet works as it should.
I've tested this with the same image (10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 -
20100310) on 4 different machines.
