Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the reply - here are my answers:

The latest version is 0.6.3. You are sure that the version in you
dapper is 0.7? If yes, this is not a good idea from the ubuntu devs.

A: Yes. I got it from CVS. I've been told that Debian/Ubuntu team
implemented a patch in their version of NM to make it compatible with
static IP, so I guess downgrading to 0.6.3 from Ubuntu repository
might be a choice for me. But at the same time I'm concerned about the
suspend to RAM bug that NM 0.6.3 has.

I'm not sure here, but i think ubuntu ignores interfaces listed in
/etc/network/interfaces. Debian does exactly this.

A: Ubuntu doesn't ignore it. It's the non-Debian/Ubuntu NM that ignores it.

Cheers,

Charlie
