Just uninstall it.  'sudo aptitude remove network-manager'

If you are not planning to do your networking manually, then you might
wish to replace it instead with wicd.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD
http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php
That will remove network-manager when you install it.
