Description of problem:

Had a host entry for my machine called twoleftfeet (its my first linux install
and I think I have 10 thumbs too). I changed its IP from DHCP to Static, and
then tried to change its HOSTS entry and I get above debug output.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0.System Settings -> Network
1.Host file entry with local machine name
2.Changed IP from DHCP to static
3.Updated address in HOSTS
4.Apply or Close->Yes

    

Actual Results:  Output as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/neat", line 505, in on_okButton_clicked
    if self.save() != 0:
  File "/usr/sbin/neat", line 319, in save
    self.saveDevices()
  File "/usr/sbin/neat", line 326, in saveDevices
    devicelist.save()
  File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/NCDeviceList.py",
line 145, in save
    os.write(fp2, ipc.network()+'/'+ipc.prefix()+" via "+route.Gateway+"\n")
  File "/usr/sbin/../share/redhat-config-network/netconfpkg/ipcalc.py", line 60,
in network
    return re.match("NETWORK=(\S+)", text).groups()[0]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groups'



Expected Results:  Network configuration should be updated.
