The menu item doesn't fix the problem. As I said before, the moment you switch to a static IP configuration using network-admin (I even went to the menu item added), and NM automatically shows that the connection is disconnected, and liferea/gaim/epiphany goes into offline mode. Basically, if the

Yes, the "static configuration" menu item would bring up network-admin, but Network Manager would consider the interface to be "disconnected" when a static IP is set. Basically if there is an entry for the corresponding eth interface in /etc/network/interface, NetworkManager would show the disconn

Technically, activating the interface isn't a problem. The problem is in switching back and forth between static and DHCP-configured networks. The process to do so is neither intuitive nor trivial. -- Can't use static ip address with network-manager https://launchpad.net/bugs/5364 -- ubuntu-bug
