This problem has gotten even worse in Zesty. In addition to VLANs no longer being available in the Plasma Network Manager applet (plasma-nm), they are now no longer available in the connections editor either.
In Yakkety, I was at least able to open the connections editor and enable the VLAN connection from there. Now there is no option to do that nor is there an option to add a VLAN connection type. I am now required to use the command-line (nmcli) to manage VLAN connections. This seems like a huge step backward. ** No longer affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637878 Title: Network Manager does not show VLANs Status in plasma-nm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In a fresh install of Ubuntu Yakkety, VLAN connection types are no longer offered as potential connections in the various GUI applets even after the parent Ethernet connection is established. I've checked in KDE Plasma (plasma-nm 5.7.5-0ubuntu1), Gnome (1.2.4-0ubuntu2), and Cinnamon. However, they are shown and usable via the command-line utility, nmcli. So I have to assume that the problem is in the libnm0 library in some sort of function that tests what connections should be available based upon what parent connection is established.
