I guess this bug is not only related with indicator-network. but also
with system-settings and more. I don't know.

I missed it too when first connecting the device to home's WLAN. Since I
usually don't turn on DHCP service, being unable to establish an static
IP configuration was an inconvenience, only solved by activating DHCP
(against my will) with an unique IP on the pool. I know that the great
majority of WiFi networks use DHCP but taking it for granted from the
connecting device is not always a right assumption since there are weird
people like me who wants an all-static IP configuration for the network.

Sure you can do it from terminal, but I think it's not a good user
experience on such a basic topic. I've seen some designs
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking) that indicates that it will be
possible at some point in future time. Nonetheless I feel this has to be
prioritized somehow.

Title:
  Static ip configuration is not possible with touch gui

Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have received the bq Aquaris Ubuntu and it looks and works great, but the first impression is lowered by the missing ability to use a static ip configuration for WLAN.
  On the web I found a solution to set a static ip configuration, but this require a connection to the pc. This is not very helpful when you are on a trip. I think it is important that you can set a static ip configuration only with the touch gui.

  When you have connected to a WLAN you can look at the connection
  details and most of the screen is blank. I think this is a good place
  for an ip settings menu.
