Because you didn't configure the static configuration using Network
Manager? Presumably you dived in and fiddled with files that did things
the old fashioned way.

I use to routinely uninstall Network Manager, but have left it on
laptops recently (certainly other people's laptops) as it isn't THAT bad
any more. Sounds like Ubuntu are making it harder to disable (sigh), but
it use to be a complete pile of pants.
