So, the FeatureMoreNetworkManager wiki page says that NetworkManager is supposed to have new "Chuck Norris" features like supporting static IP addresses. It didn't work for me on a fresh F9 install, which then was a headache etc etc. (Even sytem-config-network had the right info, yet interface kept coming up dhcp.) So, as the Feature page says, it sure would be an advantage if it worked. Except, uh, what advantage does this bring me once it's set up? Why have a daemon and applet and dbus infrastructure monitoring something which by definition *is not going to change*? I'm not trying to troll -- I just don't get it. It seems like there's nothing in the "plus" column here.
