You are right, it can't be set in KNetworkManager. But I set it up in YaST/Network Devices/Network Card. I set the ethernet card as static IP and the wireless as DHCP. NetworkManager honours the static IP, whenever I am plugged into the network.
Therein lies the problem. I prefer to use static IP at home and DHCP elsewhere. While I can use DHCP at home I prefer static, as I have different addresses for when the computer is running Linux or Windows.
Then use different profiles for home, work and everywhere else. Look at SCP. You can set every profile with different settings, incl. if you want your network controlled by network manager or ifup/down system. So in every profile you can set which card gets static IP, which one DHCP, etc. Then, upon boot, or later you can change the profiles.
