I'm not sure exactly what happens or why, but once NM brings-up eth0,
applications can't connect to the Internet or local network.  Pings
fail.  If I check the routing table, it's been changed.  All entries for
eth1 are removed.  If I stop the NetworkManager service, dhclient eth1,
 and add back the default gateway to the routing table, all is well again.

Does that answer the question?

Thanks!
