Three machines with Intrepid here. All of them fresh installs, updated. Each of 
them has 3 network cards with static IPs.
None of them is manageable. 

I randomly get any combination of these results when configuring the interfaces 
with network manager:
- the settings are saved, but no connection. 
- a connection does not work unless I click on NM, then click on EthName
- no password prompt at all, no matter what I change
- password prompt appears, but it has no effect (no settings get saved)
- checking/unchecking "System setting" or "Start automatically" has no effect 
(they are simply set randomly each time I edit the connection)
- a connection finally works (ping IP), but there is no nameserver, even though 
I have set one
- lots of connections can be added - is there a sane reason for this?!
- NM ignores the connections with static IPs and tries to connect to an 
unconfigured interface
- there is no NM at all after login

There is also a stable result:
- ALL the settings are lost on reboot, with no obvious reason

A whole IT department in a whole university is going crazy here. Is
there something that we are missing? A spell or something? Hardy works
perfectly.

[regression] devices/interfaces not set to "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces 
get blacklisted in 0.7 (intrepid) but were managed in 0.6 (hardy and before)
