How to set a static IP in Ubuntu from the shell (See related posts)

Edit 
/etc/network/interfaces
and adjust it to your needs (in this example setup I will use the IP address 192.168.0.100):

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
        script grep
        map eth0

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.100
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255
        gateway 192.168.0.1

Then do
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

to restart the network.

Did it and it worked, but when I tried to reverse the action
my network-manager is gone and I have no ip address at all :-(

What do I do now?

Thanks,
A.
