You can just apt-get remove network-managerWhat is your network like? Do you have a static ip or use dhcp? If you know your ip settings do not change, then just
Modify /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/networks to suit your needs.
If you are using dhcp, then you might want to look into /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
