snort on debian monitor interface dhcp

[Gregory Zill <gregory () r3g net>]

When I manually initiate the monitor (eth1) interface using 'ifconfig
eth1 up promisc' it shows UP but then goes through the dhcp broadcast
and NetworkManager wipes out /etc/resolv.conf and the primary
interface (eth0) loses its default gateway, so I altogether lose
network connectivity to this box. The eth1 interface then shows a
169.254.xx.xx address. Of course, I would prefer no address for the
snort. I would appreciate any pointers in getting the eth1 monitoring
interface to come up without destroying the primary network
parameters. Thanks in advance.
