Well, I just installed an F13 system as a VM.  Using NM with static
address and no problems at all. 

FWIW, I only had a "problem" when I once forgot and assigned a static
address that was in the range to be doled out by my DHCP server.  Not a
good idea to have 2 systems with the same IP on a LAN.  :-)

Anyway, if you have time you may want to go back and find out what the
issue was.  Or, you may end up bad mouthing NM for no reason...or at
least the wrong reason.  Kind of like what happens with some folks and
selinux.  :-) :-)
