           Summary: Network profiles severly broken
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: knetworkconf
        AssignedTo: debzilla at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: redm at gmx.de
         QAContact: kubuntu-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


Today was my first contact with kubuntu and thinking about it, it actually  
installed pretty well on my laptop. And I was suprised to find support for  
networking profiles in the network settings! However, they are so unbeleivably  
broken that I really wonder how they made it into a stable distribution?! In the  
current state they should be rather disabled.  
  
I played around a litte but couldn't really find out what's going on. Only that it  
seems pretty random what is saved, when, or to which profile. Things I noticed:  
  
There is no feedback what is actually saved and when.  
The tooltip for saved profils shows nothing (perhaps it's not properly updated?).  
Does a new profile contain the current settings?  
Do I actually have to save it or is it automatically saved?  
Sometimes one profile disappears and another is duplicated instead.  
Sometimes the all profiles suddenly contain the same settings.  
Gateway or DNS info often semms to be ignored (This appears also to be the case  
when applying the config. At least I couldn't make it to actually add the  
default route I configured, once).  
  
Also you can't enter the network module twice, subsequently. It seems to stay  
loaded, at least that's what I'm told. I have to resart the wohl System Settings.
