This usually means, your ethernet interface is configured in
/etc/network/interfaces and then nm does not manage the interface.

See also network-manager's README.Debian.

Could you please post your /etc/network/interfaces and test if removing the
configuration for ethX (and restarting nm) helps.

If the device is not managed by nm, we should probably grey out the relevant tab
in nm-connection-editor.

A backtrace would be useful too.

Cheers,
Michael
