I did a sudo apt-get install connman to test this and accidentally
pressed Enter at the "do you want to continue?" prompt.  Oops.  On the
other hand the recovery procedure is now tested -- on Ubuntu 12.04.1:

    # plug in wired cable

    sudo -s # to get root

    ifconfig eth0 up
    dhclient eth0
    # this failed with some error, I ignored it, network worked

    apt-get install network-manager-gnome

    sudo start network-manager
