I did an /etc/init.d/hal restart before I read the above.

After doing that, the duplication in the list went away. So did nm-applet and my network. On reboot, nm-applet came up and showed my 1 static IP and the auto eth0 DHCP connection I had deleted earlier. The auto eth0 DHCP was checked as "Connect Automatically".

Here is what I did:
I unchecked "Connect Automatically" for the auto eth0 connection

I checked "Connect Automatically" for the Static IP Connection 1.

Rebooted.

The auto eth0 was back up as the default connection.
Clicking on "Static IP Connection 1" in the list causes the system to correctly switch to that and display an appropriate pop up.

Here is the output of hal-find-by-capability --capability net.80203

marty@tux:~$ hal-find-by-capability --capability net.80203
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_22_15_a1_23_df

Only 1 entry.
Restarting hal seems to have fixed the double entry problem.

The only remaining issue now is...
On startup, why does it default to auto eth0 DHCP & reselect the "Connect Automatically" check box after it has been deselected and another connection is listed as "Connect Automatically?

Do I need to start another bug report for this?
