This bug should be priority. A lot of people need to use VPN while they
are connected using an static IP for a lot of reason.
My reason: Some Internet suppliers provide one static IP by ethernet. If
people want to use a bridge to have wireless connection they need to ask
for the given IP to the
Indeed many networks require static IP address, even over a WPA wireless
network... which is difficult to cobble together without creating a
special wpa_supplicant config for that network. Net exactly nice when

I have encountered this bug in the Hardy Beta as well. I set static IP
by choosing Manual configuration in the Network Manager. I have been
getting around it by opening the Network Manager, setting it to DHCP and
then resetting it to Static IP. After that it works again (until the
next reboot).
This appears to have worked. Thank you very much!

I haven't spent much time running 7.10 so I can't comment for sure on the

I'm sure network-manager is supposed to support multiple configurations.
I need static IP on my system, I'm not using WiFi.
Here's what I do:

It has never been possible to use a network card configured statically with
