	I tried to get my Ubuntu 9.04 to use a pre-set ip and like 
you I found the information was conflicting. I do know for a 
fact that wica will not now support a fixed ip. It may in 
future versions.

	Newwork Manager does have a way to set a particular ip and it 
displays this always. But it is tricky and I have yet to succeed.
