NM and wired connections

[Peter Flynn <peter silmaril ie>]

If I pull out my PCMCIA wireless card and plug in a standard RJ45 
connection, nm-applet correctly notices and tries to switch.

But it has no setup for a wired connection, so it goes looking for DHCP, 
which we don't have on the wired network. I have an IP address for  use 
on this laptop, but how do I tell NM to use it?
