Sorry, you're right. I did not read you question thoughly. Here is another way:
Modify "/etc/network/interfaces" with your favorite text editor. Then add these two lines: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp save and restart NetworkManager (sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart). From this point on NetworkManager will ignore this interface. Hopefully this helps!
