I'm currently testing Karmic Beta with latest updates from http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/trunk/ubuntu because network-manager applet just didn't work if installed from the disk. I think this bug is quite reproducible:

1. Make a USB startup disk with some space to store setting on it.
2. Boot from it on the first computer with LAN adapter. There will be "Auto eth0" connection.
3. Boot from it on another computer. There will appear "Auto eth1" connection.
3. Try to rename Auto eth0 to "home" or something.
4. Try to rename Auto eth1 to "office"
5. Finally, you will have duplicates of one or more connections on a list.

Once trying to rename Auto eth0, eth1, and eth2 to "Home", "Office" and "Emercom", I got "Home", "Office", "Emercom", "Auto eth0" and "Auto eth1" on a list. If I remember correctly, the last two appeared at once when I renamed the last connection.
