NetworkManager Removal Problems On Dapper

I dist-upgraded to Dapper the other day (more on that later) and decided to try NetworkManager, however, it doesn't support wireless connections with a static IP. So I uninstalled it. However, since then, my laptop's wifi has stopped working. Thankfully it has built in ethernet and I'm not going any place any time soon where I will need to us a wireless network. The thing that really irks me is that when I reinstall NetworkManager, my wifi now works. Which leads me to believe that the uninstall process doesn't clean up to well after itself.
