It has never been possible to use a network card configured statically with
NetworkManager. If you set it static in /etc/network/interfaces then NM just
doesn't see it.

It is supported in 0.7, which is not final, and not yet in Ubuntu. Have a
look at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-676992.html where you
are invited to test it.
