Description:
I have two interfaces in my computer: eth0 (wired) and eth1 (wireless). I would like to have eth0 configured by rc.conf (static ip) and use NetworkManager to manage only eth1. The problem is that even though eth0 is not prefixed with an ! in rc.conf, NetworkManager tries to manage it. Whenever I try to associate with a wireless network, eth0 loses its configuration.

Additional info:
* networkmanager-0.6.5-3-i686
* rc.conf:
INTERFACES=(eth0 !eth1)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng alsa iptables network dhcpd netfs sshd crond dbus hal networkmanager portmap fam cpufreq)

I corrected the bug. It's local fix to the Arch Linux NM backend (NetworkManagerArch.c). Patch attached.

Assigning to Jan. I'll let you close it if it's fixed (I've never used network-manager)
