Problem with NM and VMware

[James Ward <james jamesward org>]

Hi,

I'm using the latest NM in Ubuntu Jaunty and having a problem related to
VMWare.  VMWare creates two network devices by default (vmnet1 &
vmnet8).  NM thinks that these are wired devices and that it needs to
manage.  So I get:

Wired Network vmnet1
 * Auto vmnet1


But these devices really shouldn't be managed by NM and this causes
routing problems because NM uses vmnet1 for my default route.

I used to deal with this problem by just removing "Auto vmnet1" and
"Auto vmnet1" every time my computer boots.  But now when I try to
remove those devices I get an error:

Removing connection failed: nm-settings.c.333 - Read-only connections
may not be deleted..


Any idea how I can deal with this problem?  Thanks!
