This means that your device is unmanaged. This happens when you have
it configured in /etc/network/interfaces and use NM in unmanaged mode.

I would suggest that you change to managed=true in
/etc/Network/nm-system-settings.conf.

If that doesnt help, try to remove your configurations from
/etc/network/interfaces and let NetworkManager manage your connection
in the good old way.
