knetworkmanager-network manager issues

[Michael W. Holdeman]

My laptop connects at several different wireless points in several offices, 
hence the need for a laptop I guess.

Problems are this one location now requires a static IP for both the wired and 
or wireless, 3 others are dhcp. 

How can I get k/networkmanager to work nicely with this situation. I am happy 
with it with the dhcp wireless, works slick but when I set up a manual 
(static) setting then it no longer works properly for new networks with dhcp.
