Ok, I use my laptop with wireless in two locations. In my apartment, and on campus at my university. When I am at home, I prefer to use a static IP address, for sake of ssh between machines, etc. Campus works strictly on DHCP for wireless. Using the Profile Manager feature of Network Settings, I can connect to both successfully. The problem arises when, after connecting on campus, then attempting again at the apartment, my gateway ip is lost and I must manually re-enter it before I can use the wireless again.

Have I done something wrong, or is this a bug?

Thanks

Absolutely can. Just wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing something wrong before posting a possible "false bug"

Thx.
