> On reboot network manager uses the default Auto eth0 dhcp connection Where is this connection defined? Can you delete it?

I'm running Kubuntu 9.10 and have manually configured a static ip address using Network-Manager. When I click the network manager icon it shows my static route available to activate. Activating it works and as long as I leave the machine on it retains the static IP address. On reboot network manager uses the default Auto eth0 dhcp connection despite having the Static connection set to "auto connect". There does not seem to be a way to graphically turn off or disable the default auto eth0 dhcp connection permanently (until manually reactivated.) My expectation of network manager is to honor the "Auto Connect" tic box on whatever connection I've manually set to automatically connect to. It seems this issue has been around since Breezy. My logic might be flawed but I have to ask..... is it possible to add a line in the "Manage Connections" section of Network manager that would represent the default "auto connect to dhcp on eth0 or wireless" and give us a tic box to turn off that connection when enabling our own static configuration? mark@KMark:~$ apt-cache policy network-manager network-manager: Installed: 0.8~a~git.20091013t193206.679d548-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.8~a~git.20091013t193206.679d548-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.8~a~git.20091013t193206.679d548-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status mark@KMark:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Date: Sat Feb 13 16:41:22 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Gconf: IfupdownConfig: #auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) IpRoute: 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.102 metric 1 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 proto static IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions.
