Andreas reports that he makes the changes in the "interface properties" dialog box, then clicks OK but does not see the changes made in the /etc/network/interfaces config file.
However after that Interface Properties dialog box closes, focus is returned to network-admin dialog box (titled "Network settings") at that point, I too see that the config file has not yet been written to. It is not until the OK button in network-admin also is pressed that network-admin writes the changes to the config file. If instead you click cancel in network-admin, any changes made in Interface Properties are discarded and never written to the config file. Additionally, I am experiencing a similar problem in connecting where after making the change (even if network-admin writes the changes to the config file), I still need to manually re-issue the iwconfig to get a connection, or else I can simply reboot: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbase/+bug/80499 -- [network-admin] WEP doesn't work when setting key using network-admin https://launchpad.net/bugs/67152 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
