I think you'll have to use udev rules or similar to detect when the
interface comes up, then you can have that call cnetworkmanager to swap
network manager configuration around based on that, via a shell script.
I'm guessing that udev rules will detect that, but I may be wrong.

I haven't see a way in NetworkManager to tell it to use one interface over
the other.  You *MIGHT* be able to do it via a script in
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d
