No, it does not mean that at all. Simply set your eth0 connection to be a "system connection" to resolve your problem.
On a wider note, I, too, used to hate Network Manager. It seemed like such an over complication in relation to such things as: > > > /etc/network/interfaces doesn't exist, so I'm not sure how this is > supposed to be achieved these days (under debian it's still there, just > not active by default). The thing that finally broke me in was the utter impossibility of setting up a WPA connection without it. It was then easier to learn how to live with it than to fight its installation (and, on Debian, all you really have to do is uninstall it, and perhaps also avahi, which I still hate). The thing is, network manager brings unity (I know, bad pun) to an area that used to diverge so much between the distributions. I can't really call that a bad thing. Unlike what its reputation suggests, the global configuration isn't so cryptic. Just create a text file under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. Ugly uppercase apart - quite straight forward. I'd like the GUI managers to be more consistent, but that is really a minor quibble compared to the situation before NM.
