[Bug 790604] Re: after installation, nm reports eth0 as a not managed network device

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

The network card if up and listed in ifconfig and an IP address is associated. 
My point is that with the desktop image the user is able to manage the wired interface with network manager and not with an installation from an alternate image. In this case eth0 is filled in /etc/network/interfaces.
