Clued by  https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13778#c34 , I got
tired of waiting to see connman 0.71 in the images, so googled for an
RPM and found 
http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/connectivity:/latest/Trunk/i586/
....

Here's how I installed it and a few potential dependencies (?).

The above update installs connman-0.72-1.1.i586
connman-test-0.72-1.1.i586  bluez-4.91.23.g6f7add5-1.1.i586
bluez-libs-4.91.23.g6f7add5-1.1.i586 ofono-0.45.134.gb2e3a47-1.1.i586
ofono-test-0.45.134.gb2e3a47-1.1.i586.

At least connman-0.72 seems to fix a lot of problems with the
networking -- I can actually use the wired network for the first time
since I installed 1.2. My issues with static IP on both wired and
wireless ipv4 networks seems to have been mostly resolved. I'm still
seeing the wired connection disconnect from the local network after
several hours, even though it can route to the internet. The GUI
connection manager lists the subnet mask as being "255.255.255.255" in
this condition. When it's corrected back to a /24 netmask, it'll
either be uncorrectable until next reboot, or it manages to reconnect
and just works.

The original problem in connman 0.69 (in *all* meego 1.2
netbook/tablet releases) of garbage text  (as if memory error) showing
up in the static IP "Router" field doesn't happen anymore. Nor do some
of the other disconnections and connection manager errors I've been
experiencing. Unfortunately, even the latest release still includes
the buggy connman 0.69:
http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/1.1.90/1.1.99.0.20110330.3/repos/oss/ia32/packages/i586/

With the updated connman, a suspend/resume cycle (e.g. closing lid on
lenovo s10-3t) allows  the wired network  to almos survive At least
the workaround to accidentally closing the cover doesn't mean
rebooting ... It only requires correcting the "subnet mask" field back
to "255.255.255.0" from "255.255.255.255" ... The same thing seems to
be required on each boot, requiring the network mask to be corrected
from .255 to .0 . --- Any suggestions on keeping this fixed to the
correct value??

Attempting to fix "the easy way" aka:
$ sudo zypper in
http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/ux:/netbook/Trunk/i586/meego-panel-networks-1.3.2-33.1.i586.rpm

... didn't fix the netmask resetting problem on suspend or reboot (not
sure why it would, but wanted to replace as much of the buggy
networking stuff w/ fixes).
