Assuming you are using testing/unstable: I guess you have your network interface configured in /etc/network/interfaces. The default configuration in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings is "managed=false", which tells NM to ignore interfaces configured in /e/n/i. Now you can either set managed=true (and killall nm-system-settings) or remove the interface configuration in /e/n/i and manage the connection via NetworkManager. A third way is, if you want to *disable* NM without uninstalling it, to disable the init script, so the daemon is not started at boot and none of the desktop applications will then query NM for on/offline state.
