Don't know if anyone has tested that specific combination, but the issue may be elsewhere.

(IP: 10.39.200.10, netmask: 255.255.255.0, gateway: 10.39.200.1).
All of which seem vaild considering the backend output below:
"connects" and "disconnects" as in network manager showing connection state as connected/disconnected ?

Can you ping the N900 when you have manual IP set, can you use the arp command to resolve the HW address for the gateway IP. What if you run dhclient manually ?
