Title:
  After upgrading from gutsy to hardy, all controls in "Network
  Settings" window are greyed out, making it impossible to configure
  networking.

Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

  After upgrading from gutsy to hardy, (nearly) all controls in the
  "Network Settings" window are greyed out, making it impossible to make
  changes to the current network settings (including the active
  interfaces) or select a different network location.  Only the "Help"
  and "Close" buttons work.  This happens consistently every time.

  This is true when running as user (and prompted to enter a password)
  and when running as root.

  This is true even when deleting /root/.gnome2/network-admin-locations
  and forcing network-admin to recreate the directory.

  Attached is the gzipped output from strace while running /usr/bin
  /network-admin as a regular user.
