Comment 83 for bug 5364

gheeke thanks for the info, but you missed something, tick the "System Setting" option, (for me appears as "Ajustes del sistema" in Spanish).

If you remove the auto eth0 and create your own network as system network it will ask for permission when applying it. If you try to make a network when there is already a system network it will untick the option when applying and won't ask for permission because is a user network.

Also i have found that this new system network ask for permission when trying to remove, edit... I think that the problem is that auto eth0 is created when there aren't networks configured but it don't work as a system network. Not asking for permission to save changes. Also i have found that system networks always appears as never connected in the network editor but the user networks this info works well.

The bug must be that the network created by nm, when there aren't any, is badly created. Also the network editor should be worked a little more, moving the tick for system network as a new column in the all networks list and being a radio button instead of a check box, unless that nm supports more then one system network, in that case there is a bug that don't let the user to do that. One more bug that i thinks there is is that nm always connect at start with the system network instead of using the users last network that can be a network defined at user level instead of system level.

Sorry my English, I don't know how to explain this better.
