I also wrote my own script quite a while ago. One thing it does, is

thing I'd like to see in it, is the ability to configure static
addresses for ethernet, instead of using only DHCP.
If you mean a behaviour that depends on the server or LAN that we attach
to, I am with you.
My script pings the IP address of my WiFi router and checks if the valid
MAC address is in the arp cache. If successful, it selects the config
file for that IP address. If not, it uses the config file for my
internet access IP.
KNetworkManager does allow you to setup static address on a per-card
basis. For example, I set a static address for the wired Ethernet,
since I expect to use it mostly at home, and I left the wireless card
as DHCP. But ideally I would like the wireless card to have a static
address also at home, and DHCP everywhere else.
How do you configure a static ethernet connection? It doesn't appear to
be available on the configuration panel.
