New Settings dialog cannot connect to a machine when there is no router.

Project Member Reported by skuhne@chromium.org, Jun 14 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: (copy from chrome://version)
OS: (e.g. Win7, OSX 10.9.5, etc...)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Use a Linux machine, and a network cable which has 2 USB network adapters attached to it. Then plug a Chromebook on the other side.
(2) Set up the network as pointed out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PQ036JP40FemlOu3A2mmv26dHch81HbF4I6f6HfVt54
(3) Finally try to connect to the ChromeBook (Ping / ssh / ...) and it will not work with the new settings dialog.
=> Does not work.

(4) Close all settings dialogs. Then use the old settings panel (chrome://settings-frame) and do this again.
=> Now it connects properly


What is the expected result?

That the network properly connects.

What happens instead?

The network does not connect.

The relevant instructions from the doc above are:

* Go to Settings
* Select "Ethernet"
* Deselect "Configure automatically"
* Enter the IP (e.g. 192.168.1.1) and Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

This works in chrome://settings-frame but not in chrome://settings

skuhne@ - do you know which version of Chrome OS this was with? I can not seem to reproduce this on tot.
