It's also possible to mark the device as unmanaged:
http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/SystemSettings

That's a good solution if the interface needs to be used occasionally
for things like sniffing or driver testing.

It would be a great if the future versions of NetworkManager allowed
users to select (in GUI) which interfaces are used.  Using all possible
interfaces in not always the best solution.
