In my case, the only thing mentioned in /etc/network/interfaces was
"lo". And I didn't want NM to ignore that one. :-)
And it already had that entry in nm-system-settings.conf. It originally
looked like this:
---------------------
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=false
---------------------
I added:
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=mac:00:04:23:a1:12:d2
And then it ignored that built-in wireless 802.11b card.
