I had to use this version.  Adding the below to my ~/.xinitrc did 
nothing, and on the third reboot to check, since a logout and back in 
wasn't working, network-mangler ate my lunch, zeroing out what I had 
setup 2 months ago.

So that got nuked, then rebuilt resolv.conf and interfaces from memory.  
I must be getting good at that, the first try worked.  But what was eth6 
before is now back to eth0.  I figured I'd have to generate new sshfs 
keys, but it all worked.

If there is a single piece of system software that will trigger my 
personal, no duplicates copy of a nearly 15 minute monolog of swearing 
in  several languages, network-manager is it.  I have never had it 
explained to me, why the hell it should tear down a perfectly working 
hostname based network.  Under a 10-04 LTS install, it wasn't 
removeable, so all you could do is a root session of chattr +i those 2 
files the instant they were written.  Somehow it didn't have the 
chutzpah to squawk when it found they were read only, the only thing I 
ever found amusing about N-M.

This had no effect. Puzzling.
