To change the config on F22 via the NM GUI, just right click on the
icon, select "Edit connections", select the connection you want to
change, click "Edit".

In the next screen, click on "IPv4 Settings" and change your configs
the way you want them to be (e.g. click the dropdown on "Method" and
select "Manual", then in "Addresses", select the existing config and
click "Delete", then click "Add" and fill in the blanks).

If you want this to just be temporary, you could (as root):

ifconfig <name-of-network-device> 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

That would set the IP address of the NIC to 1.1.1.2/24 and you could
configure the device. Then right-click on the NM GUI icon, disable and
then re-enable networking to revert back to the old settings.

Yeah, sort of clunky, but should do the job.
