Comment 40 for bug 259214

Auto eth0 will come back, because it is default config for specific card. Problem is in gaining root privileges to save system-wide config.
In Hardy with NM from ppa everything in this area worked, so I could create new config, assign it to specific card by mac-adress, then turn on "system setting" and autoconnection for it, with promting a root password. Then disable autoconnection for default configs.
Now I just have to click on needed custom config after every startup. So this bug results in two excessive clicks.

Summing up: Name of the bug is incorrct, IMHO, because custom settings are saved, but cannot be applied system-wide.
Also there is lack of feature: prevent deletion or editing of default configs (except autoconnection setting) , so many users can be confused when default configs come back and destroy settings, that were put in them.
