Jesse, I don't care which route we go - NM is fine if we can persuade it to 
work.

All I want is a fixed address when on my home LAN - and I'll accept reserved 
IP from my router's dhcp if that's easiest - and straight dhcp for the wifi, 
since that will be used at various locations.

Since trying to get the cabled connection working properly (and it's working 
now, but not on my chosen IP address) I have lost the wifi altogether, so if 
you can advise me how to start from scratch that would probably be best.
