NetworkManager drops the IP on em1 when ppp0 comes up

[PH <paddy667 hotmail com>]

Hi,

 

Running:

 

Fedora 18

NetworkManager 0.9.8.1

 

My DSL Modem is connected to Ethernet em1.

em1 has a static IP 192.168.1.254

 

When NetworkManager brings up ppp0 it removes the IP on em1.

ipconfig lists the interface em1 with no IP.

 

How can I get em1 to keep its static IP when ppp0 is brought up.

 

Thanks
