Bug Description

After a quite long uptime my ip address is changed from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.101, but the network manager (plasma-widget-network-manager) still report the old ip address.

It happen every time I reboot my router (and dhcp server)...

Network Manager (or plasma-widget-network-manager) should be able to show the current ip address, and not just the one obtained a week ago.

The easiest way to reproduce the problem is:

1. Obtain an address via DHCP (i don't know if the problem exists even with a static address... may be)
2. Change the address manually with ifconfig...
3. Take a look at the network-manager widget and see the old address...
