Personally, I use the managed=true option in NetworkManager.conf so NM
*does* manage the interface. This way I get a network configured
from /etc/network/interfaces if I don't boot into a GUI, and automatic
wireless/wired switching when I use a GUI.
So I've had to remove the new hack from the interfaces file, I hope it
doesn't keep getting added back in on every NM package update.
