Yeah, I wasn't sure about it.  I just tested it though, and it worked
for me.  The only thing that would make NM _not_ do it is if it doesn't
know that your wired interface is up, I think?  Feel free to investigate
if you like.  As I see it, the code doesn't prohibit wired interfaces
from coming up when NM starts.
