Yeah you're right on both counts I suppose.  NetworkManager gets in my way 
at times as well.  It would be NICE if I could tell NetworkManager to 
ignore certain interfaces.  I used to run up to three network devices on my 
laptop at once depending on the location and I always had to stop the 
NetworkManager service to allow any creativity to happen at all.  

And if there *IS* a way to make NetworkManager to stop interfering with 
cerain devices, someone tell me?
