[Bug 95950] KNetworkManager doesn't work with static IP configuration

[hk-47]

Public bug reported:

While NetworkManager in Ubuntu Feisty Beta 1 works fine for me with
static IP configuration, unfortunately KNetworkManager in Kubuntu Feisty
Beta 1 does not.

Whenever I try to convince KNetworkManager that I want e.g. 192.168.0.10
as my static address, KNetworkManager pretends to apply my changes, but
the IP remains at the auto-assigned private 169...-type. Directly
changing network setting via kcontrol also doesn't do anything.

I have to shut down KNetworkManager, manually edit
/etc/network/interfaces and use ifupdown-tools to configure my network,
which works as supposed.
