Some distributions allow you to disable specific interfaces from
NetworkManager.  Ubuntu, SUSE, and Fedora have facilities for this.
There is limited support for static IPs in 0.6.x, and better support for
them in 0.7.x (yet to be released).  Note that in 0.6.x, hiding an
interface just  makes NM ignore it, NM will still bring up connections
on other interfaces.
