Please attach your /etc/network/interfaces and a debug log:

service network-manager stop && NetworkManger --no-daemon --debug
--log-level=debug

Oh well, managed=true is not really supported and tested. After all,
having both ifupdown and NM manage the same interface is bound to fail
in some way anyway.

I'm inclined to simply rip out that code completely, it's just too
buggy. I'd suggest you use the keyfile plugin to store your system
connections.

Patches to fix managed=true mode are welcome. I'll probably won't spend
a lot of effort on it.
