[Setup-tool-hackers] Network-admin on Mandrake Linux 9.1

[Roberto Rosselli Del Turco <rosselli ling unipi it>]

Hi all,
I've started testing the latest release of the GST under Mandrake Linux, 
I think you could start considering adding this distro to the supported 
ones list. This report concerns network-admin:

- when running without root password, you can apparently save a Network 
profile but next time you launch the tool, both as root or as simple 
user, you won't find it;

- when you try to activate a connection, the highlighted button is "No" 
(I would expect it to be "Yes"), same for disabling it;

- when you try to activate a PPP connection, and the modem is turned 
off, you get no warning about it: the light bulb icon is turned on, but 
of course the connection is not working (SUGGESTION: 1) warn the user if 
the modem is not responding 2) turn the lamp on only after the 
connection is up and running);

  - sometimes disabling a PPP connection fails, you're forced to turn 
off the modem;

  - it is currently impossible to add new hosts: when you move to the 
Hosts tab, the first one is automatically highlighted (but the "Delete" 
button is ghosted for localhost) and you can only click on another one, 
the "Add" button is never usable;

  - files in /etc are written even if no actual modification is made.

Ciao
