Hi! I don't claim to be a networking expert, but I believe half the conversation here is based on wrong or outdated information. I encourage those who think NetworkManager (NM) doesn't play well with ifup/ifdown to please read http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager#NetworkManager_in_Squeeze Furthermore, not having NM running breaks the Network panel in System Settings (gnome-control-center). NetworkManager makes connecting to WiFi points much much easier, while at the same time NOT breaking wired connectivity. Oh, and NM works just fine for USB tethering with my Android phone too. GNOME considers NM to be part of GNOME Core, therefore gnome-core depends on it. If you're allergic to NM, either don't install gnome-core; let NM install but tell it never to run; or follow one of the several workarounds already posted to this list.
