problem seems to be solved, as someone mentioned above.

my original /etc/network/interfaces read like this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.136
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1

iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.2.136
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
wireless-key ***********
wireless-essid Broadcast

auto wlan0

auto eth0

*** as someone mentioned above adding the auto eth0 then commenting out iface eth0 inet static. so my new
/etc/network/interfaces looks like:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.136
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1

iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.2.136
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
wireless-key ***********
wireless-essid Broadcast

auto wlan0

auto eth0

*** when i rebooted a network had connected automatically (one i had previously tried to save, unsuccessfully), connecting to the internet worked fine. clicking on the NM icon displayed a list of network connections, all of which where previous failed attempts at making a connection. i managed to delete the remaining connections through NM, the ifup connection wasnt there.
