It is possible to configure a static IP (I've managed it), but it's rather confusing. The subnet mask must be entered in the less common 'prefix' format, so 255.255.255.0 becomes 24 (meaning the first 24 bits of the 32 bit number), and 255.255.0.0 would be 16. I've also seen bugs with the icon not updating properly, but since I'm now running a PPA version of KDE, I can't check against the distro version. Maybe I'll hop on to Karmic to test it.
I also think that the interface for the settings could use some work, but that's a separate matter. -- Network Manager fails to apply static IP address https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-network-manager in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
