Same here, well, almost ...

The only feature that I can't get to work with my router is configuring a 
static address for the particular router MAC address, but using dhcpd for any 
other wired gateway I happen to connect to with my laptop.

# Define the gateways you want to configure
gateways_enp11s0="10.10.10.1,00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE,10.10.10.7"
# Define the IP and netmask when using gateway 10.0.0.1
config_010010010001_00AABBCCDDEE="10.10.10.7/24"
# Define the default route for gateway 10.0.0.1
routes_010010010001_00AABBCCDDEE="default via 10.10.10.1"
# Define the DNS servers to use with gateway 10.0.0.1
dns_servers_010010010001_00AABBCCDDEE="10.10.10.1"
fallback_enp11s0="dhcp"

The above always fails to set a static IP address and defaults to using dhcp a 
few seconds later. I have been blaming the router and its firmware for this, 
unless you can see something wrong in my configuration.
