Using Wicd works well on my laptop. I got a workaround with using wicd (package for my Kubuntu)
With that I had no more problems to connect to an wiered or wireless network, with dhcp or fixed ip. (It took some time to find out how to add a new profile) >From canonical I got: I have tried another network manager called Wicd[1]. It works in Intrepid and Jaunty. If you wish to give that a try in Intrepid, please follow the instruction to add the software to the system: (It is in the universe repository in Jaunty, no need to follow the instruction here) When it appears, go to Settings > Repositories > Third Party Software > Add..., and enter the following line: deb http://apt.wicd.net intrepid extras where intrepid is your version of Ubuntu in lowercase (dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy, intrepid). You'll also need to add the key used for signing Wicd by running the following command in a terminal: wget -q http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - *Please be aware that because this package is not in main, if you decided to use it to resolve the issue with the static IP address, I will not be much help if you run into other issues in the future.
