While I know that there has been a lot of debate about static IP support, could you please consider the following situation?
I have a laptop which I take between various wired network connections for which I have been given a static IP (all beyond my control, I would like to use DHCP or at least static DHCP but I cannot). Right now, I use "arping" to figure out where I am (by pinging a known host on the network and checking that the MAC address matches), and then setting the IP address appropriately. If I come up with a way to add such static, wired network preferences to networkmanager, without disturbing the default "connect with DHCP" behaviour, would this be considered for inclusion? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Suggestions welcome.
