As soon as you start to edit interfaces manually you are left alone.

Try to set the interface in network manager to roaming mode again and
see if those options go away ... otherwise just remove all lines
associated with that interface from your /etc/network/interfaces file.

This is probably the best way to put those interfaces under the
control of network-manager.

Hope that helped,

Thanks,
