That just means that the interface isn't configured. Check to see if
the interface is there:
sudo ifconfig -a
do you see eth0? If so, make sure you've got an ethernet cable to
your local network, and type:
sudo dhclient eth0
If you've got a DHCP server on your network (you probably do), then
that should get you fixed up wired-network-wise.
If the ethernet interface is *not* present, then the module might have
been unloaded for some reason. Try reloading it.
Network manager is just a gui interface.
