Which version of NetworkManager? 0.6.x or 0.7 trunk? NetworkManager itself (as it exists in SVN) doesn't write or change /etc/network/interfaces. Ubuntu has other tools that do that. NetworkManager reads /etc/network/interfaces to gather some information from it, but shouldn't (currently) ever write to that file. With 0.7, the nm-system-settings service will gain the ability to read _and_ write distro specific network config files. There are already read plugins for Fedora and SUSE, and the change interface is coming soon (it's pretty easy, a few methods and a few signals). The applet will then allow authorized users to modify system settings, which should cause the nm-system-settings service to write that out to the distro network config files.
