To tell you the truth, I have been facing the same issues over Static IP's
and had queried over this @
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3106444.0
But that was on Jaunty, and now have no issues on Karmic

I guess we could learn from the post @
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3100052.0

Also the other part about KWallet, that is something that I want to
get rid off too,
and was at the back of my mind. Thank you for reminding me about it.
I'll find more info on how to go about it and post my results
