What is important to notice is nothing more is happening in syslog when tweaking again network manager properties.
The only way to get the new settings applied is: 1) right-clic on network applet, uncheck / check "enable networking" 2) unplug / plug the network cable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297745 Title: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Changing the IP address on a manually configured Ethernet interface and clicking OK does not result in the IP on the interface actually changing.
