1. There is nothing in Debian that ever overwrites the
/etc/network/interfaces file. But you aren't running Debian on
this machine, so we are all having difficulty helping you.
Because this is DEBIAN-user.
2. All you've described is a line in a file which says, "Network is
managed by NetworkManager". There is NO indication WHICH piece of
software put that line there, it really could be anything.
Because you aren't running Debian. Since NetworkManager can be
set up to run arbitrary commands, it certainly COULD be YOUR
setup of NetworkManager. Or something else entirely different.
It's nothing in Debian, though.

This like some sort of farce.
You have an operating system hard-coded to use DHCP, but you won't
use DHCP, so it doesn't work. You can't work out how to make it not
want DHCP; you won't ask the people who made it how; instead you ask
us completely uninvolved folks how to do it. When we tell you to
configure it for static networking you say you can't because it
wants DHCP. When we say use DHCP then, you say, "oh I see it's your
way or the hiway, I'll have you know I was crafting IP packets from
raw bean sprouts before you kids ever drew breath!"
So would I be correct in saying that you want US to work out how to
do this thing in software we don't use and that's off-topic here,
and that's the only answer you'll accept?
Or have I misunderstood and there is some other direction you would
like to go with this?
Thanks,
Andy
