I also wrote my own script quite a while ago. One thing it does, is

thing I'd like to see in it, is the ability to configure static
addresses for ethernet, instead of using only DHCP.

If you mean a behaviour that depends on the server or LAN that we attach
to, I am with you.

KNetworkManager does allow you to setup static address on a per-card
basis. For example, I set a static address for the wired Ethernet,
since I expect to use it mostly at home, and I left the wireless card
as DHCP. But ideally I would like the wireless card to have a static
address also at home, and DHCP everywhere else.
