Bug Description

 Conditions:
 Workstation with alone network interface into local net with dhcp server.
 Dist.: kubuntu 12.04 amd64

 Problem:
 Network manager sets incorrect metrics for local and default routes:
default route has METRIC=0
local route has METRIC=1
 As result, local addresses are looked for into Internet instead of local net.

Removing of Network Manager with configuring of interface into /etc/network/interface decides the problem:
local route has METRIC=0
default route has METRIC=100

 Security issue: results are like as for arp spoofing.
