I have to agree with this. I got my new laptop a month ago and have
been struggling with wireless on and off (because I'd get so
frustrated) for 3 weeks. I finally gave up network-manager and
installed WICD (installing it will get rid of network-manager).
I too use static IPs. With WICD it just worked. Switch over. I
don't think you'll be disappointed.
