At this time Network-Manager does not work with static addresses so
you need to use DHCP for it to work.  I think Static IP address
settings are scheduled for .7.

If you don't want to enable DHCP on your home router (Though I don't
see why not...) and it supports setting a reservation you could create
a pool with no addresses but then create a reservation for your laptop
then it would only distribute one address and that would be only to
your laptop.  I played with my DD-WRT and it seemed to allow that
there.
