Jeff, is your network connection DCHP or Static? If it is static, is your network devices configured in etc/network/interfaces?
If it is, then the unmanaged notification is what it's supposed to do. According to this bug notification, the NM formerly didn't have unmanaged status when network devices are configured in etc/network/interfaces. The bug is marked as fixed. That is why DK's NM would revert back to DCHP. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/256054 Like David Kaiser said, if you are on a static IP, then you don't need network manager. And, this manager is full of bugs. Just remove it. If you're on DHCP, AND/OR If you need a network manager use knetworkmanager. (I know you love those k apps) It's much better than the install Ubuntu NM. Problem solved.
