OK, sorry for my late reply due to .... real life .
I finally found the time to reopen this opensuse 11.1
After a long research i found that NetworkManager is supposed to connect as 
soon as possible to any network. And, at login, knetworkmanager seems to be 
satisfied when a network is already connected.
So i took a look at NetworkManager and found intersting stuff 
in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ .
Here, you can find a config file named "System eth0" containing :

[ipv4]
method=auto
....

It means that networkmanager is doing some auto adressing (dhcp) for eth0 when 
i want some manual. So, i searched the web for some other examples and i 
finally filled it up with this :
[ipv4]
method=manual
adress1=192.168.x.y;255.255.255.0;192.168.x.1
dns=123.123.123.123
dns-search=domain.com
...

And now i have knetworkmanager and the fixed ip i wanted. And what is strange 
is that knetworkmanager guesses that the connection configured by 
Networkmanager corresponds to the one configured in knetworkmanager . Weird.

Anyway, first it is not what is expected.
And second, if i connect somewhere else than home with a wired connection, 
networkmanager will not connect automatically with dhcp.

Thanks for your answers.
