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.
