Well, I'd re-edit your ifcfg-eth* files and set them all back to
NM_CONTROLLED=yes.  Also, I'd question why you have an eth1 file, and
perhaps remove it, if all you have is a wired and wireless.  Make sure
the eth0 file still matches the right MAC address etc..

Then in NetworkManager you can right click the panel and edit
connections.  There you should be able to define a configuration for
System eth0 complete with static addressing.  This in theory should
allow it to come up at boot time with this static address and be fine.

As to why your wireless went away, that's a different matter.  Might be
worth booting a Live image and seeing if it makes any difference by
having fresh configurations in place.
