No, there is no option for that. We specifically added that functionality because many, many Ubuntu users were highly confused tha their network devices were unknown to NetworkManager, because NM 0.6 did hide them from the UI when they were unmanaged. The mailing list would get at least one "where's my network device?" mail from some Ubuntu user every week, because of how the ifupdown plugin handles unmanaged interfaces. To make the situation clearer, and to show users /why/ their network devices were not handled by NetworkManager, we made nm-applet show unmanaged devices. This alerts users to exactly why things don't necessarily work out of the box on distros that unmanaged devices in more common use-cases.
