This is a design choice in the ifupdown plugin so that people who already had set up configuration information in /e/n/i wouldn't automatically have NM take over that interface. The ifupdown system settings plugin will "unmanaged" well-known devices, by which it means any device that has explicit configuration in /e/n/i. To turn that off, you make /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf (or /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf if that's what you already have) look like this: [ifupdown] managed=true and restart NM. NM should then manage those ethernet and wifi interfaces defined in /e/n/i, and it should also use the exact configuration you've specified there. If it doesn't, thats a bug we need to fix in ifupdown.
