I have a system connected to a wired network that requires a static IP and 802.1x authentication, and I have an /etc/network/interfaces stanza like

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 10.33.42.9
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 10.33.42.1
    wpa-driver wired
    wpa-ap-scan 0
    wpa-key-mgmt IEEE8021X
    wpa-identity XXXXXX
    wpa-password YYYYYY

even with the ifupdown plugin added to nm-system-settings.conf that interface is not configured properly on boot if NM is enabled (up-to-date Intrepid as of today). So I am just doing

update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove

every time an upgrade reenables NM.
