Very well, this is a feature, not a bug.

I very strongly suggest that NetworkManager should be patched to produce
some useful output in this case, something to syslog to the effect of "I
see some interfaced but I am ignoring them because auto isn't set" would
have been extraordinarily useful.

I also strongly suggest that this behavior should be documented
somewhere, I would suggest the NetworkManager(1) and interfaces(5) man
pages as appropriate places.

I also submit that the KDE Network Settings control panel the checkbox
that controls the "auto" flag in the interfaces file is misleading. It's
currently labeled "Activate when the computer starts". Clearly this
button does more than that. It should perhaps be re-labeled and It's
function should be documented.

Thank you for your time, everybody. Sorry to be such a squeaky wheel, I just 
want to see Ubuntu (and linux) succeed.
