If it's only NetworkManager that's acting up, you should be able to 
configure manually in /etc/network/interfaces and execute 'ifup ethX' to 
bring the interface up (where X is 0 upwards). NetworkManager should 
then ignore that interface and not meddle with its configuration. 
Something like this for dhcp:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

or this for a static IP:

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


Hope this helps. Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir and you've already 
tried this.

Tom
