Hello Michael,
I figure out what was going on. And it should be a bug. If possible, can
you report this bug?
As you said, I check the files needed. Actually, the files you list are
created after using GUI tool. But if the files are not exist before
running the GUI tool, the result is your network interface is disappeared.
I have test it. After stopping nwam, I create needed file with empty
content. Then I run the GUI tool. After configuring the IP and some
else, I click "OK". This time, my network interface works.
Thank you for your help.

Hello Michael,
Thanks for your quickly reply.
I tried every ways.
At first, I disable nwam. But not start physical:default. And come
out the result.
Then, I disable nwam, and start physical:default. The result is same.
Third, I disable nwam, then reboot. I found my interface gone. And I
plumb my interface, then use the GUI tool. After click "OK", my
interface gone too.
I don't know the GUI, so I can only comment on the "command" side:
Merely configuring an interface with a static IP address is not
sufficient for it to come back up after reboot.
You need to create /etc/hostname.<interface> (eg. /etc/hostname.nge0)
to contain a hostname you want to assign to this interface; this same
hostname must appear with the IP address you want to give it in
/etc/hosts or your name table of choice (nis, DNS ... )
HTH
Michael
