You don't need to use the GUI. Just edit
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* with a static IP and NM will
pick it up right away and configure it.
And how to tweak /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* (and/or
/etc/sysconfig/network) for static IPs such that NM sets
hostname/domainname correctly?
I have never got this working correctly.
In all cases, I've tried either "hostname -f" or "hostname" did
not work.
