Based on the network configuration of the live CD (see NetworkManager
Applet / Connection Information or Edit Connections or ifconfig on
Terminal) you probably can enable the correct entry on NetworkManager
on the real install and disable every other, no need to delete the
unused entries. I checked my own /etc/network/interfaces but it is
virtually null, NM takes care of everything (on 10.10).

I was wandering why do you need a bridge configured when VBox or
VMWare do it automatically, but then you are running Qemu.
