We should probably write up a script or something for Intrepid users
who want a static IP (unless this is fixed/is likely to be fixed).
There are 5 million blog posts out there talking about this problem,
each with a different workaround. I'm not sure what the Right(tm)
answer is, but the consensus seems to be to run
sudo update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove
and then etc/etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf by hand.
Does that sound reasonable?
