That is expected behavior; you'll want to create a new connection for
fixed rather than modifying the default one. In any case, if the default
dhcp connection is changed, you should have two connections so that
standard DHCP can still work for wired.
Since this isn't a bug but expected behavior, I'm closing this report as
"Invalid".

Title:
Network Manager does not connect the network adapter to a network with
a DHCP server automatically
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
When I insert a network cable into my ethernet port, network manager does not
automatically assign an IP to my network device eth0:
I was carrying out laptop testing on Networking - Cabled in Ubuntu Desktop
amd64 for Quantal Beta 2
(http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/239/builds/24437/testcases/894/results),
I disabled wireless networking in Network Manager, inserted a network cable
into my ethernet port, but no IP address is assigned to eth0.
I had to open terminal and insert this command:
sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.17.30 up
only after this did my wired network start working.
This is my hardware:
