I believe that this may still be an issue with the mini.iso image.  I
installed 11.10 to my Dell mini 9, using the mini.iso image and used a
wired connection to download the install packages etc.  Afterwards, my
/etc/network/interfaces config had eth0 listed and nm was unable to
manage the connection.

I removed the eth0 lines from the config file, restarted the network-
manager service and everything seemed to work much better.

FTR, I initially noticed I had a problem because my netbook would show
messages indicating that it was 'waiting for network connection' during
bootup.

Cheers!
