Status in "network-manager" source package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Trying to set a static IP address on Intrepid Ibex Beta's out of the box network manager (version 0.70), and I do the following: Right click on the task bar's icon, select "Edit Connections", On wired tab I click on the only interface shown (auto eth0), then click on Edit, select IPV4 settings, change the method to manual, write my own settings, for IP/Mask/Gateway and finally DNS, click OK, but nothing changes when I do ifconfig. If I reboot the settings I've inserted there will not show.
