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.

does this still happen for you? I think you have to rename your connection or create a new one. The auto connections are somewhat read-only - until you renamed them.
