Public bug reported:
Network Manager can't seem to deal with having two ethernet ports, with
eth0 not managed by it and eth1 managed as pppoe. So I tried to disable
Network Manager by via the conf file shown below. But it constantly
shows "Wired Network Disconnected" messages to me, and ifconfig -a
sometimes shows two attempts at ppp sessions. ppp0 I set up on eth1,
and ppp1 Network Manager is trying to set up. It fails, repeatedly. I
want it to go away--I spent forever trying to get it to manage my
networks correctly and it just won't, so now I'll be happy to do it
myself if I can just get Network Manager to go away. Please have
Network Manager recognize it is not supposed to do anything on my system
by reading its conf file. Better yet, provide a way to specify that it
never start in the first place.
