I don't understand why there is no reaction from developers to this bug.
That at least some configurations with static IPs don't work anymore in feisty,
with apparently no other workaround that deinstalling network-manager seem like
a serious problem to me.
Also the fact that it worked with 0.6.4-6ubuntu2 and not anymore with
0.6.4-6ubuntu3 should help to narrow the problem.
The changelog for ubuntu3 version was:
* Manage some static devices we can understand. This should avoid the
problem people are having with NM marking the machine as offline when
it's just on static instead. LP #82335.
So obviously that change made network-manager decide to manage some
devices that it clearly cannot understand, since the connection is down
when it should be up.
anyway, i think that this bug in a final release would be quite bad.
