Funny you should ask. There's a little checkbox in there that asks  
whether the nic should be managed by the network manager. For some  
reason, after install, it was unchecked. So, I just checked it and  
rebooted and the settings took.

Thanks. Now I can see if I can navigate the procedure for updating
