Re: NM looses connection and/or doesn't use dhcp

It continues to happen.  This time I found that my wired interface was 
now down and my wireless interface was connected (to the neighbor) but I 
never made this change at all.  What is the deal here?  This is very 
annoying!  Why is NetworkManager randomly switching interfaces and 
randomly changing my IP?  This is seriously annoying.  I know it is 
NetworkManager because I can stop it and start my normal net service and 
my wired connection will stay connected.  While NetworkManager is 
enabled I have checked and any network interface services or plugdev 
service is stopped.  So I guess for now I have to leave NetworkManager 
disabled and use the old school setup until this is fixed within 
NetworkManager.
