I use networkmanager with fixed ip addresses with KDE. The setup I have
does not automatically connect to any network, wireless or wired. This
arrangement means I have to start knetwormanager, which with it being
configured, I use to create network connection(s). The system network
configuration has no devices configured, although I have configured DNS
and hosts as this makes NFS configuration slightly easier. It has it's
quirky problems which I know how to work round, but I'm more comfortable
having networking operated this way, even using cnetworkmanager on
occasion, indirectly via knemo. None of this requires any editing of
system files.

Keep exploring,and I'm sure you'll find what suits you.
