I guess this bug is not only related with indicator-network. but also
with system-settings and more. I don't know.

I missed it too when first connecting the device to home's WLAN. Since I
usually don't turn on DHCP service, being unable to establish an static
IP configuration was an inconvenience, only solved by activating DHCP
(against my will) with an unique IP on the pool. I know that the great
majority of WiFi networks use DHCP but taking it for granted from the
connecting device is not always a right assumption since there are weird
people like me who wants an all-static IP configuration for the network.

Sure you can do it from terminal, but I think it's not a good user
experience on such a basic topic. I've seen some designs
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking) that indicates that it will be
possible at some point in future time. Nonetheless I feel this has to be
prioritized somehow.

** Changed in: indicator-network (Ubuntu)
