Sebastien,

What happens if I am not using NM to manage my connection? I am in a very static, wired-only network here, and TBH, the "Debian way" (/etc/network/interfaces) seems entirely sufficient to manage the network connections. Further, the idea that the network comes up only when the desktop is started is ludicrous. Yes, I know that NM has a "systems setting" but again, what's wrong with the simplicity of /etc/network/interfaces? Instead, when it doesn't work I have debug the how many thousands of lines of NM?

I just want weather without having to subscribe to using NM, thanx. How do I get it?
