I use Ubuntu and I love Network Manager. I can set multiple profiles

while this is possible, I (and many others) found it better to use DHCP when
possible, with static IP allocations.
I have one static IP for my wired card and another IP for my wireless card.
this way I need only one wired configuration, becaue DHCP applies anytime.
It's not so easy for wireless, because of different SSIDs used, but DHCP
applies there too, so I only need proper SSID/password for different
networks.
