SVN doesn't yet have multiple active device support. Some distributions allow you to hide a device from NM 0.6.x, in Fedora & SUSE it's adding NM_CONTROLLED=no to your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX file. In ubuntu I think you add the interface to your /etc/network/interfaces file. > configure my NAT and problem solved.

This'll be a bit complicated right now with NM 0.7.x in F8. You're probably best to turn of NM for now.
