List the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces, and Network Manager will
ignore them.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.0.2
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 192.168.0.1

You can also remove the network-manager package. But you'll need to
configure the interfaces manually as above. See also "man interfaces".

Tyler
