I finally found out what the problem was.  You have to remove everything
except the loopback interface from /etc/network/interfaces otherwise
Network Manager does nothing.

I think maybe a comment or note somewhere to this effect would be useful
as otherwise it's very easy for someone to put some configuration in
/etc/network/interfaces and then wonder why Network Manager isn't
working.
