There was some discussion about this on IRC, and as a result I was directed to look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, which I attach. Two things:

1) It names the interfaces eth2 and eth3, instead of eth0 and eth1, which is going to surprise a number of people.

2) If I switch the names around, it seems to get the right interface (D-Link, r8169) every time I test. If I keep them as they are in the file now, it never gets the right one. This could indicate that whatever sets up the rules file should put the interface the user prefers in the installer as the first one.

I assume this makes it a bug in the installer, not in NetworkManager, but as I'm new to Ubuntu, I'll let someone else make that decision.
