Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) New network manager confusion
There are several things I find uncomfortable with new network manager:
1. There is no longer "Manual configuration..." menu item on left-click on network-status icon in gnome.
2. Left-click on network status icon brings the same window as left-click->properties. I would assume that Properties should be different from status.
3. There is no Hosts configuration tab in Network configuration GUI so I have to edit /etc/hosts via terminal.
4. I couldnt save manual setup of my IP until something happened which helped me to do so. (i just kept trying for a few days, if you can call this "solution").
does anyone know solutions for those?

I didnt find the way to start network manager from within network status applet, and I dont see any part of new network manager managing hosts. Am I missing something?

Ok I figure part of the question: There is no right-click menu item on network status icon because it is gnome-network-status-applet but not nm-applet so then the question is HOW to get nm-applet on the panel? shouldnt it be automatically?
