This all misses the point. I've turned NM off and killed everything I

screwing up my static network connection?

If that happened to me I would first look in /etc/modprobe.conf
to see if wlan0 is mentioned,
then in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
and delete the line if mentioned there.
Then I'd delete /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 -
well, actually I always save back versions of ifcfg-<if>.

Given the trouble I initially had in getting Fedora 8 working with my
wireless card (using ndiswrapper - no native driver worked), I would be
afraid to delete any of these files. What I'm doing is a bit of pain to
connect to wired and wireless networks but at least it consistently
works. I guess I will have to wait until NetworkManager is improved to
handle wired networks with fixed IP's. No other wireless program works
(they either just never connect to ANY network or are incompatible with
SELinux - like wicd and wireless assistant).
