I've disabled "Activate device when computer starts" for my eth0, in 
favor of using NM, instead. In this case, the network adapter will not 
be enabled until you log in. NM should work just fine if you leave that 
enabled, but the laptop might take more time during bootup to get an IP 
from DHCP (that is, if the cable is not plugged in, it will wait until 
it times out)
