Title:
  [network-admin] loses wifi settings; corrupts /etc/network/interfaces

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

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

  network-admin in gnome-system-tools 2.17.5-0ubuntu1 under Herd2 Feisty
  Fawn (with all current updates)

  Under the 'Settings for interface' dialog box, any changes made (to a
  wireless connection) are lost and the connection (if already
  connected) is disconnected.

  Within approx 10 seconds (ie, it can not be pinpointed to the moment
  the 'Settings for interface' dialog box is closed),
  /etc/network/interfaces is re-written and reset to contain:

  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  restoring /etc/network/interfaces, and running /etc/init.d/networking
  start restores network connectivity.

  I only have one test system here, a Dell Inspiron 710 with an Intel
  Pro 2200BG wifi card, but don't believe it a hardware issue.

  bug can be re-produced, I can't comment if this effects ethernet
  connections. happy to provide any additional information if required.
