Why you filed this against gnome is beyond me, especially with that severity. Anyway, your problem is most likely http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=624159 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=546893 I.e. you have multiple interfaces, where the primary interface is not managed by NM but ifupdown. If you have something useful to contribute, you can follow up on these two bug reports.
