As others have stated, I think that most of us find that Debian's 
network manager is just too much overhead on a box plugged into the 
wall.  I think that, not to overly generalize, I tend to believe that 
when Debian pushed the network manager on us, we just removed it.

I'm also running a custom start-up script which has always depended on 
eth0 being there before myth-backend started.
