It looks like config-method is not saved for your wireless connection eth1.
You could try to manually edit ~/.gnome2/network-admin-locations/* and add: config-method=1 to [eth1] for location with static IP and: config-method=2 to [eth1] for location with dynamic IP (DHCP) -- dhcp <--> static ip doesn't change when changing location https://launchpad.net/bugs/73358 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
