Public bug reported:
When using the livecd on powerpc, i386, and amd64, I did
System->Administration->Networking to configure static IP information
about my system. I switched the interface off of DHCP and onto Static
configuration, and entered IP address, netmask (255.255.255.128), and
gateway information (last octet .129 in one case, .1 in another).
Sometimes the network tool seemed to accept the gateway, but sometimes
when I went back it would be empty again. I didn't keep track of the
behavior, so further testing may be needed.
In all cases, when I ran "route -n" at the shell, my local net route was
up fine, but there was no default route for the gateway I had selected.
Running "sudo route add default gw <address>" worked just fine, however.
