Kudos! Intrepid Ibex Alpha 3 with 20080809 updates finally recognizes wired connection on boot - I get greeted with "wired connection established".

This is uname -a:
Linux linux 2.6.26-5-generic #1 SMP Sun Aug 3 01:25:54 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

This is a FIRST for network manager on this Realtek

This is Xubuntu however since Network Mangler first appeared as a mandatory option on Feisty, all three Ubuntu - Xubuntu - Kubuntu have had the problem of Network Mangler deliberately disabling eth0 as in the original bug report, starting with Feisty, then Gutsy, then Hardy, and with Intrepid before yesterday.

From syslog, NetworkMangler first deactivates the device then activates it! From syslog:
