[Jurij Smakov]

reopen 460691

severity 460691 serious
found 460691 2.22.0-3
tags 460691 lenny
thanks

Hi,

I've just had a rather negative experience with gnome-network-admin in
a freshly installed lenny system. It *still* does not support WPA, making
it useless for many installations out there. It liberally overwrites the
contents of /etc/network/interfaces, and at least on one occasion blew
away a working configuration I had there (hence severity "serious"). There
is no good reason to keep a buggy, obsolete, but highly visible (can be
launched from "System" menu) package, when Network Manager is already
installed, and much more functional (worked pretty much out of the box).
I would really like to see network-admin removed in the next lenny point
release, unless these problems are not fixed.

Best regards,
