Better than what? What have you tried up to now? And why didn't they suit
your purpose?

I don't think NetworkManager was intended to deal with the static IP
situation, I think it's intended to handle roaming for you, pretty much
transparently after an initial connect at a location. Similar to the way
that Redmond operating system does. I think it ignores any static stanzas
in your interfaces file. Personally, in a local LAN, I let my router hand
out a static IP with DHCP for the systems which I want one.

Can't help with question 2.
