Lars, did you already defined what the "right interface" is?
Anyway, I see 3 issues here (please correct me or add more):
1. network-manager does select an interface without a signal
2. network-manager appears to connect to random interfaces, which could or could not be caused by 1.
3. ubuntu-installer (i think alternate install that is) asks the user for an interface to use during install, but doesn't mention that this will only be used during install if network-manager is going to be installed.
Which issue should be tracked in this bug? Please file bugs for the other issues.
