nm doesn't save static configuration

[Daniel Fett]

If I set a static configuration in nm settings for the wired connection, it is always resetted to "DHCP". Installed Karmic into a virtual machine. The configuration i try to set is:

192.168.178.3 / 255.255.255.0 / no gateway / no dns server

I have the exactly same problem. Tried with either the live-cd or fresh install (karmic beta).
The network manager crashes after submitting the password for authentication.
After that everthing is resettet.

Running Ubuntu 9.10 beta with the same problem. Can't set static IP without nm crash and nothing is changed.
