I believe that this may still be an issue with the mini.iso image. I installed 11.10 to my Dell mini 9, using the mini.iso image and used a wired connection to download the install packages etc. Afterwards, my /etc/network/interfaces config had eth0 listed and nm was unable to manage the connection.
I removed the eth0 lines from the config file, restarted the network- manager service and everything seemed to work much better. FTR, I initially noticed I had a problem because my netbook would show messages indicating that it was 'waiting for network connection' during bootup.
