How the applet NetworkManager works?

[王 鹏辉]

Hello, list.

Recently, i found that the applet NetworkManager which located in the notify
area could not start automaticly even i want to start it manually.

My current /etc/network/interfaces is
==
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth0
==

And eth1 is wireless NIC.

Then i add the line:
auto eth1

to the file.

Then the NetworkManager could work correctly.
But i don't want to the wireless network start during the system  booting. I
want to start it manully when necessary. If is remove the extra line from
the /etc/network/interfaces, The applet doesn't work again.

I have few experience on this topic. Could anyone told me what's the real
problem?

Thanks very much.
