It has never been possible to use a network card configured statically with NetworkManager. If you set it static in /etc/network/interfaces then NM just doesn't see it.
It is supported in 0.7, which is not final, and not yet in Ubuntu. Have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-676992.html where you are invited to test it. -- Can't use static ip address with network-manager (and thus no VPN connections menu for static users) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/5364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
