I don't think NM supports static addresses yet but soon.

It has partial support in Rawhide. If you create static networks with
system-config-network, NM will honor them. It hasn't grown a UI to
create a new one from scratch but that is planned.

This all misses the point. I've turned NM off and killed everything I
can think of yet wlan0 keeps getting activated. How do I stop it from
screwing up my static network connection? nm-applet USED TO HAVE a
button for a wired network under Fedora 6 and my wireless and wired
connections worked together without any problem. Under Fedora 8, the
wired connection disappeared, reappeared briefly, and now is gone again.
Why are we going backwards?

Make sure you have "ONBOOT=no" in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 file.

wlan0 is not set to be activated on boot. I will have to set NM not to
come on when the machine boots. Maybe that will help. I would imagine
there are a lot of people who have wireless at home and a wired
connection at the office. It used to work just fine under Fedora 6.

NM never worked with static address connections. wired and wireless yes
but both using DHCP.

Actually, a LONG time ago (or at least it feels like it - read: "I don't
remember when it stopped"), NM actually read my ifcfg-eth0. Perhaps
this is when it was "first" introduced and all it was doing was an "ifup
eth0" on its own, but I did use it that way and was able to have static
on wired and dynamic on wireless. I don't remember if static on
wireless every worked since I never had that "need".

And, yes, current situation in terms of "released" code is that the
settings are embedded at a "user" level and currently only support
dynamic, though static support is "coming" as is earlier starting in the
boot process with "system" rather than "user" settings.... But I have
plenty of patience, as it still has not hit 1.0 after all.....
