This is STILL not working for me. (I just reinstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome a few minutes ago).

If I start with /etc/network/interfaces in a 'clean' state - just showing the loopback interface, and try to set the IPv4 network parameters, including IP, mask. gateway, and an additional route, I can save all those values, which are retained (somewhere) when I re-run network-manager, either from the System>Preferences menu or from the NetworkManagerApplet (0.7.996), the set values will appear, but have no effect: ifconfig shows no IP for eth0, the route is empty, etc. This remains the case even after restarting /etc/init.d/networking.

I can configure the interface manually in /etc/network/interfaces either for dhcp or for a fixed address and route. My current manual configuration is attached.

Also, I had been running with the resolvconf package installed and configured. So I just tried removing that for a test. This had no effect, I still have the problem with network-manager.
