Comment 3 for bug 92085

Sorry, but this could not be the solution. Imagine the situation (myself) posted here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=384688 and
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385093 for a temporarily resolution

A solution would be that the network manager take a look at /etc/network/interfaces at boot time. If there is a static configuration given it should be used for all given NIC's by network manager. If not it should try to connect to a dhcp network. At least should the user be able to change or configure the network through the panel icon. This means, please merge the normal network tool into network manager.
And this must be done for more than one NIC at the same time.
For example: At my university I used a wired NIC with static configuration for the local network and sometimes at the same time the wireless card for surfing the net with a dhcp configuration given by the computer centre.
The same is true for my office at home. See links above

The situation reached at this time is more confusing than usable. Sorry.
