Actually, a LONG time ago (or at least it feels like it - read: "I don't remember when it stopped"), NM actually read my ifcfg-eth0. Perhaps this is when it was "first" introduced and all it was doing was an "ifup eth0" on its own, but I did use it that way and was able to have static on wired and dynamic on wireless. I don't remember if static on wireless every worked since I never had that "need". And, yes, current situation in terms of "released" code is that the settings are embedded at a "user" level and currently only support dynamic, though static support is "coming" as is earlier starting in the boot process with "system" rather than "user" settings.... But I have plenty of patience, as it still has not hit 1.0 after all..... --Rob
