[kde-linux] Knetworkmanager doesn't connect with fixed ip auto conexion

[christophe]

Hello,

I'm runing opensuse 11.1 / kde 3.5

i have selected networkmanager in YaST2 (opensuse configuration tool) for my 
internet connexion because i think knetworkmanager is easy to use when i want 
to connect my laptop to a wifi AP when i'm away from home.

But when i'm home, i need to connect to my home ethernet network with a fix ip 
for some good reason like file synchronization via unison and tv via ip .
Therefore i used knetworkmanager to configure a connexion on my ethernet 
card . I entered all parameters on the knetwork window : fixed ip, network 
mask, DNS, default gateway, connexion name and, of course, i checked the 
automatic connexion box .
Then, i expect knetworkmanager to connect automatically with the fixed IP 
parameters i entered at each login when my ethernet cable is plugged into my 
laptop ethernet card at home . On opensuse 10.3, it works correctly, but with 
opensuse 11.1, it does not. Surprisingly, on opensuse 11.1, it connects with 
a dhcp IP, so without the fixed IP i parametered !!! (like 192.168.0.50 
instead of 192.168.0.8)

I have run kdcop to find some function that i could call with a script at 
startup, something like ' "dcop knetworkmanager connect "eth0" '  . But i 
found nothing like that.

I need this fixed IP, as written above.
I am quite disappointed by this unexpected bug/behaviour.
Maybe, there is a simple workaround ?
Is there some configuration feature that i missed to perform ?
How can i correct this annoying bug ?
Thanks for your help .
