"Roaming mode" and "manual mode" are an Ubuntu specific patch that hides
a network interface from NetworkManager when that interface is in
"manual" mode, and therefore by definition isn't something that
NetworkManager can control.  You'll probably get better results by
asking on Ubuntu lists and forums.
