You can not set /etc/network/interfaces manually if NM is 
used as it over writes the file. Don't remember why I 
couldn't use NM for Ubuntu 10 my notes show I could use NM 
for 12 so no longer needed to do that.
Sorry it didn't help.  If you have a DVD for the version you 
are using you could try and reinstall NM using the deb files 
from the DVD
