This! NetworkManager is a right pain. It is only really required if you have 
some kind of dynamic connection like wifi or bluetooth, where the connection 
details can change from session to session. Useful for laptops and tablets, not 
so much for fixed workstations, HTPCs and servers.

If you have a static setup with wired Ethernet it is best to do just what is 
stated above, get rid of NetworkManager[1] and configure it by hand. You'll 
probably get a timing bonus out of it, though that isn't guaranteed.

I found an additional gotcha with NetworkManager on one of my workstations: it 
would periodically drop and remake the (hard-wired) link for some reason. This 
plays havoc with editing sessions.

[1] apt-get remove network-manager
