The network manager from 9.04 onwards drives me up the wall! I'm now
using Lucid and I needed to install a wireless access point, the network
manager wouldn't let me connect to its interface so I had to remove the
network manager and put wicd on instead. OK, now I could set up the
wireless access
Thanks, that's a lifesaver - I'll only have to reinstall the laptop this
once! I'm mulling if this is a bug or a wishlist for an easier way?

Wasn't trying to set up a static IP, was wanting to re-configure an HP
ProCurve access point which had been playing up and was connected
directly to the laptop's ethernet NIC at the time - I'd just
disconnected it from it's normal perch on a Draytek router. Access
points aren't willing to load web
Thanks Alan - it's easier than reinstalling the whole laptop! I fiddled
for all of 5 mins with IP setups but got impatient and just ripped out
the network-manager thinking it'd make life easier in the long-term. The
wretched access point was actually on the same subnet as my laptop - IP

If you're on Lucid, you want /etc/samba/smb.conf - at the top, there's a
line where you can edit the workgroup name - it defaults to workgroup
though. It doesn't work on the hostname of the Ubuntu samba server.
