But if you have to type in the MAC adddress, some interfaces want colons between the hex characters, some don't? But this is beside the point, if it's not working with the address it was given, then switching over to static will not make any difference. Be careful that you don't have too many things trying to control the network, for instance you mentioned that the system is asking for keys for your neighbors wifi, but not yours and you also implied that you manually configured your key. Maybe you should remove the manual configuration and then it will ask for yours also. The same with /etc/network/interfaces. If you put configurations in there for a device then network-manager will ignore that device. Remove those and restart network-manager and things might work as expected.
