Network Manager does not handle interfaces which have an entry 
in /etc/network/interfaces. Just stick a "auto <iface>" entry in there if you 
wish to handle it directly through ifconfig commands. e.g.

--
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
        address 192.168.1.11
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1
