Now with Feisty Herd-5, network-admin does replace the word "dhcp" with "static", so I suppose this bug is correct as having status "Fix Released".
However, I still cannot use network-admin to change my wired connection from dhcp to static. When I do that I get in my syslog: dhclient: There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 134993440 Bug #88101 addresses that problem. -- [Feisty] network-admin forgets static in interfaces https://launchpad.net/bugs/80622 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
