This was closed for Breezy, but I think it resurfaced as bug #5364 and it's still active on Feisty (with a few related issues, too).
Shouldn't it be reopened and marked as a duplicate of one of them? -- [breezy] network-manager doesn't work with static wired IP https://launchpad.net/bugs/18845 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
