I think you should select the 'activate when computer starts' checkbox, and 
save settings. AFAIK, NetworkManager should also respect this setting. Try it 
and reboot, hopefully it will connect as you want it to (using NM).

The DHCP problem is a separate matter (you should fix your router), and has 
nothing to do with this.
