In my case I wanted to undo the pppoeconf settings and had the same problem that my network wasn't managed anymore.

Here is a solution:

1) change to root user

Code:

sudo -s

2) change the nm-system-settings.conf-file

Code:

gedit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf

3) And then write under [ifupdown]:

Code:

 managed=true

This should solve your problem
