Networking

[Antony Gelberg <antony wayforth co uk>]

Hi,

My first post to this list.  I can't believe how quiet it is considering
the number of people using Gnome.  I'm using Gnome 2.12.3 on Debian Etch 
and I have some questions about network-admin.

o Why does the Location drop-down get reset to blank upon reboot?  This 
is possibly not relevant but...
o Why do my wireless settings (essid and key) get blanked out after 
reboot, even upon choosing a Location that previously worked?
o Does network-admin pay any attention to standard config files such as 
/etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf?  If not, where does it 
store its data?
o If no to the above question, how can I access network-admin's 
functionality from the command line?  I want to write network scripts 
but I'm worried that the likes of ifup and ifdown will conflict with 
network-admin.

Hope these make sense to somebody.

Antony
