About that new Net­work Man­ager in Ubuntu 8.10 that every­one thinks is so great: I just unin­stalled that over-designed piece of crap. I use a sta­tic IP and since it kept select­ing DHCP by default (even when I told it not to and even when I thought I removed the DHCP set­tings from the man­ager). So I unin­stalled the Net­work Man­ager dae­mon and set my IP the old fash­ioned way. The best part of using Linux is hav­ing the option to do things like this (that is of course, when it doesn’t just work like its sup­posed to).
