Public bug reported:

I think this problem started when I tired to edit
/etc/network/interfaces.  Even though I didn't end up changing anything,
I did open it and save changes.  The result was that no network
connection would load until I physically logged into my computer.  i.e.
ssh from a remote location would not work because no network connection
would start.  After logging in physically at the computer however,
network-manager would take over and ssh from remote client would be
possible.

As a workaround, I assigned a static ip address in
/etc/network/interfaces and specified the dns in /etc/resolv.conf, which
would then load at startup and I could ssh without the computer being
logged in already.  However, after logging in, the NetworkManager gui
would not allow access to the eth0 connection (this kind of makes
sense). But, if I connect to a wireless network with wl0, then
NetworkManager overwrites reslov.conf and kills my eth0 connection.
