Any already configured devices that you want to be available in Network
Manager will need to de-configured, as otherwise they will be ignored.

The easiest way to do this is by going to System -> Administration ->
Networking and then going to "Properties" of each connection. In
Properties, just untick the "Enable this connection" checkbox. Logout
then log back in again. These connections should now be available in
Network Manager.

OR, the harder way, is to backup and then edit the
/etc/network/interfaces file to remove the configuration of these
devices (except for lo which is needed for the loopback interface). You
will have to save the file and reboot for the changes to take effect (or
don't reboot and run /etc/init.d/networking restart instead). For
example, if you wanted Network Manager to be able to control all of your
devices, your /etc/network/interfaces file would look somewhat like the
following:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
