This wors!

sudo apt-get remove network-manager

Once this is done, be sure to restore /etc/resolv.conf to it's proper
state

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Viola!

Reboots work too (of course).  Here's the only catch I can see so far.  You'll 
find under SystemSettings-->Network an unhappy face.  Contrary to appearances,
that is REALLY GOOD NEWS ;-)  Getting rid of that nasty network-manager 
puts you back in control of your system's networking configuration (as per all 
the usual Linux conventions).

So far, there doesn't appear to be very many dependencies upon network-manager 
elsewhere in Ubuntu.  There's no guarantee that this will always remain true.  I may 
not have yet stumbled upon some of the network-manager dependencies.   

Ubuntu is a rich desktop environment - so the clear and present danger of 
network-manager might not be reason enough to throw out the baby 
with the bath water.  So far, Ubuntu seems to allow the removal of 
network-manager without much in the way of cascading consequences.

A tiny modicum of additional logic might permit network-manager to peacefully 
co-exist with any manually set networking configuration - that any given end-user 
might need.  Please let Ubuntu know that network-manager needs a (hopefully) 
tiny, additional dose of logic!
