yes, I know :)  I was just using net.eth0 as an example because I was
too lazy to install networkmanager and see for myself!

Did you try my suggestion?

did it help? (substitute net.eth0 with NetworkManager ;) 

It looks like all the output comes from this line in the init script

	start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec ${processname}

try adding
>/dev/null 2>&1
to the end of it.
