You can just

apt-get remove network-manager

What is your network like? Do you have a static ip or use dhcp? If you 
know your ip settings do not change, then just

Modify /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/networks to suit 
your needs.

If you are using dhcp, then you might want to look into 
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
