Do you use network-manager 0.6.x or 0.7.*?
If the latter, you should check that your ifupdown plugin is enabled, and that
devices managed by ifupdown (/e/n/i) are *not* managed:
My /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf looks like:

[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false


(run "killall nm-system-settings" after changing this config file).

For network-manager 0.6 (on Debian/Ubuntu), adding a custom configuration to
/etc/network/interfaces should be sufficient to make NM ignore this device.

Please also see /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian

Michael
