NetworkManager is a finicky thing. Is this a new install?

NetworkManager (in the past, at least) ignores cards that are set to
automatically come up in /etc/network/interfaces. (Look for the line
"auto lo eth0" and take out the interface that you want NetworkManager
to look after).

(I just got a new laptop, and it just "worked" for me, but this is the
first install where NetworkManager was one of the first things I
installed, so there was no manual settings for the network at all,
other than that required for the install).

Hope this helps...
