Bug Description
The new Network Manager seems to detect manual changes to network cards and reset them (at least in alpha-1).
This is breaking LTSP live.

A workaround might be to add "eth0 manual" to /etc/network/ interfaces. This way network manager shows the interface as "unmanaged" in the UI, and doesn't touch it.
Unrelated to live LTSP, the same "eth0 manual" approach should also work for LTSP clients. E.g. fat clients can then have network manager installed (now we blacklist it) and use it to create e.g. VPN or wifi connections, while their boot interface remains unmanaged.
