Comment 20 for bug 256054

I list eth0 & 1 as "inet manual" so that NetworkManager doesn't touch them. It works very well with Hardy.

________________ /etc/network/interfaces ______________
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet static
# address 172.19.0.4
# netmask 255.255.0.0
# gateway 172.19.0.7

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
        bridge_ports eth1

# auto wlan0
