I have eth0 connected to real network without DHCP. IP for eth0 was
configured statically in installer. Default gateway is reachable by
eth0.
I also have eth1 which is directly connected to other computer. No
default route, no DHCP.
After first boot I had no network connectivity. Or network dissappeared
when I logged in, I don't remeber correctly. NM cleared /etc/resolv.conf
and default route.
First I tried to configure eth0 as static IP in NM. But I got lost in
dialog. Clicked Add, got some settings for "Wired connection 1" but
couldn't find how to select which eth* I'm configuring (BTW, this
computer has 4 ethernet cards). I gave up.
So I stuck NETWORKMANAGER=no, NM_CONTROLLED=no and GATEWAY=x.x.x.x in
ifcfg-eth0, but I still don't have network (default route/nameservers)
after reboot.

On the other way, mobile broadband works perfectly, requiring plugin my
Huawei E220 and two (2!) clicks.
