Configuring network interface using network-admin successfully works for all except setting the gateway. Setting static IP, netmask, and DNS servers works well. Gateway settings, however, remain unchanged. Changing it in the window and then confirming changes with "OK" does nothing. Returning to the window reveals that no changes have been made at all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open network-admin or click on the network-status applet 2. Click "configure" in the case of the network status applet, or "properties" in the case of the network-admin program. 3. Enter your root password in order to continue to the configuration utility. 4. Change your gateway IP. 5. Click OK 6. Repeat steps 1-3 7. Note that the gateway setting has not changed. Actual Results: The gateway setting remains unchanged. Expected Results: The gateway setting should successfully be applied. root@Assassin bin # emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.3.5, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Feb 8 2005, 20:08:39)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -funroll-loops" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -funroll-loops" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aalib alsa apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt css cups curl dvd editor emboss encode fam flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readline samba sdl spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts xchattext xml xml2 xmms xv zlib video_cards_radeon" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY I am using Gnome 2.10, gnome-system-tools 1.20 . I was configuring a wireless network interface (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG,) but that should be irrelevant, seeing as the gateway settings are not involved with ifconfig or iwconfig at all.

I think that's a gentoo specific problem, the tool can't write the config file properly. I'm trying to find the problem in the source code but I can't find where (in the code) config files are saved...
The problem is in system-tools-backends I think. And there are others problems like the use of /etc/hostname in place of /etc/conf.d/hostname (in ~x86)
thats why i don't like g-s-t , they don't do stuff the gentoo way at all. This should work trough making changes in conf.d/net , but it doesn't . I propose we just disable the network-admin for now.
network-admin disabled in g-s-t-1.2.0-r1 . I'm aware the backends need to be fixed, but that is outside the scope of this bug and the gentoo team doesn't have time for it anyway. thanks for the report.
