I had that same problem, it would crash each time I tried to restart the network-manager. Finally I restarted it from the root and it worked, afterwords I could restart for any user, but for some reason the changes that i had made in interfaces did not show up when executing the command: ifconfig. Hopefully this helps a bit.
