knetwork-conf (Apply changes is not working)

Confirmed. I can enable/disable interfaces but cannot change the ip address.

Changing IP addresses works for me using the install and live CD from 30.03.05

Most of the following points (not all) are confirmed for the live and the install CD

works:
 * changing IP address
 * adding and removing nameservers works
 * editing an existing /etc/hosts
 * setting the "Activate when the computer starts" option puts "auto eth0
     into /etc/network/interfaces works when IP is static
 * removing the "Activate when the computer starts" option (ones it has been set)
    removes "auto eth0" from /etc/network/interfaces if IP is static
 * setting the hostname
 * enabling / disabling the interface

does not work:
 * setting / changing the route
 * it's not possible to edit the "search" option in /etc/resolv.conf
 * removing the "Activate when the computer starts" option (ones it has been set)
     doesn't remove "auto eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces if IP is from dhcp
 * setting the "Activate when the computer starts" option puts "auto eth0" into
    /etc/network/interfaces does not work when IP is from dhcp
 * setting the hostname addes the new hostname to the existing one as an alias in
    /etc/hosts. It won't show up in the list of "Static Hosts" though until you
    got out of the module and start it again.
 * setting the domain does not work

sometimes I have the options to press "Apply" twice and it will show the "Reloading
Network" again - nothing changes though.

Confirmed. I can enable/disable interfaces but the change of ip address not work and ifconfig report a different ip and netmask..
exemple:

# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:EA:6E:60:A5
          inet addr:169.254.61.158 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.0.0

# netstat -nap | grep tcp
tcp 0 0 192.168.0.2:37435 207.46.6.114:1863 ESTABLISHED5341/wish

Correct long time bug, dunno why the developers don't fix it.

The most problematic bug (enable does not apply config first) will get fixed with next upload (see bug 35509).

I will try to reproduce also other reports in comment from Tom Fernandes. Tom: thank you for great testing work!

I have verified Tom's comments and here is my feedback:
 * setting / changing the route
    WORKS FOR ME

 * it's not possible to edit the "search" option in /etc/resolv.conf
   CONFIRMED - if this is a must, please submit wish to bugs.kde.org

 * removing the "Activate when the computer starts" option (ones it has been set)
     doesn't remove "auto eth0 from /etc/network/interfaces if IP is from dhcp
  WORKS FOR ME

 * setting the "Activate when the computer starts" option puts "auto eth0" into
    /etc/network/interfaces does not work when IP is from dhcp
  WORKS FOR ME

 * setting the hostname addes the new hostname to the existing one as an alias in
    /etc/hosts. It won't show up in the list of "Static Hosts" though until you
    got out of the module and start it again.
  CONFIRMED - I consider this as minor issue, but if you feel it needs to be fixed, please open another bug.

 * setting the domain does not work
   WORKS FOR ME

Since most of the issue are solved and intial report is resolved I am closing this bug. Feel free to open new bug for each individual issue that you feel it should be addressed in Dapper.
