I have a bridge device in my (attached) Interfaces file, for any VMs I may run; this bridge device uses dnsmasq to serve up dns and dhcp, for NAT. However, with the latest few versions of NetworkManager... NetworkManager seems to try to connect as a _client_ on that interface... which I am the _host_ of. It appears in nm-applet as "Ifupdown (br0)". Switching to my eth0 entry works... but I really shouldn't have to do that manually. There seems to be no way to associate specific network profiles to specific network devices; the new NetworkManager feature would be totally useless on a computer with multiple wired NICs. Same for Mobile Broadband connections... no way to specify what modem to use.
