I can't do anything but close this bug report as "Invalid", this is not
a bug but a design decision. There are other facilities available to
provide a similar functionality (/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d) which
also runs some of the ifupdown scripts, and we have some support of the
most common hooks to ifupdown when running NetworkManager is managed
more. Running normally, NetworkManager *will* (and that's expected and
wanted behavior) ignore the devices configured in
/etc/network/interfaces.

Title:
network-manager lacks configuration params
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Hi,
when moving from manual ifup/down configuration to network-manager
when testing jaunty beta I ran into several shortcomings of network-
manager (compared to ifup-down)
* there are no pre-up/post-down scripts run (this is bug #336736)
* network-manager does not tell, which configuration was chosen (e.g. the
name of the network configuration),
like ifup/down does when running the scripts. Should pass this as a third
parameter or as an environment
variable (and forward to the /etc/network/ifup.d.. scripts)
* with /etc/network/interfaces you can pass additional arbitrary parameters
(i.e. environment variables) to
the scripts run, where network-manager lacks this ability
* ifup/down supports a feature like script-driven selection of the
configuration, e.g. with guessnet, which allows
automatic selection of the network configuration, depending where you are
(e.g. by trying arp requests)
