Typically, killing NetworkManager brings down (ie: "ifconfig eth0
down") all interfaces.  Having done so, bring them back up by hand,
ex:

sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.20 up

would bring eth0 back up and assign it an IP address.

I suggest:
1) kill NetworkManager
2) bring your Ethernet interface back up
3) create a mesh interface as per the HOWTO
4) create an MPP bridge as per the HOWTO

Please note the limitations discussed in the HOWTO as well.
