I'm sorry, but by the time I have clicked through the GUI to do
that I have configured the interface via ip, did what I wanted to
do and unconfigured the interface again.
I uncheck "Enable networking" in nm-applet before doing that,
and for me that makes NM keep it's grubby paws off my manually
configured interface, so I'm not complaining.
You don't need to use the GUI. Just edit
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* with a static IP and NM will
pick it up right away and configure it.
