That is fine, I had a feeling that was going to be the case, and it's actually a good idea. This was more of a nice-to-have than a real problem. When I decide to switch interfaces I always turn the current one off, wait about a minute, check ifconfig to make sure, and then start the other one. Have not ever had a problem with this, and Yes I use Network Manager :).
