Just sharing a workaround for those of you who want to keep the same IP all the time but still use network-manager (I like network-manager). This is a workaround and not a solution to the problem:

telling your router/DHCP server (if you have one) to "reserve" an IP address based on the MAC address of your hardware network interface card. You will be using DHCP but your IP will not change, thus, in certain cases, eliminating the need for a static IP.
