It is not necessary. However I recommend doing so anyway. It is not necessary because NetworkManager and wicd ignore any interface with a configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. They determine that there is no explicit configuration and then assume control of the interface. If you create an explicit configuration they will not control it. However there is a little bit of a chicken-and-egg startup problem. Initially they will control the interface and there won't be an explicit configuration for it. You need to shut them down before adding an explicit configuration. Not doing this can cause problems where NM is *still* controlling it from before, along with the explicit configuration trying to control it. Of course rebooting after setting up an explicit configuration should reset everything. I still recommend removing NetworkManager because I have too many times had NM break the network on upgrades. Expecially when connecting to the system remotely with ssh that is unacceptable to have NM break the network connection to it. For a mobile device and graphical interactive control I use and recommend wicd. > I'm using a laptop and want the wifi to go online, but the ethernet to stay > on a different lan networks, actually two different networks.
