I'd much rather have something similar to that cinnamon fix as it actually seems to check if the device is listed as unmanaged. The patch I've supplied above (based on the earlier patch by Campbell Vertesi) doesn't seem to do that. Doesn't matter if my vmnet8 (or similar interface) is in the keyf

Have updated the patch to work with 18.04, here are the instructions I just used to build it (personally I builds like this in a VM)... ultimately you get the file 'network-manager- gnome_1.8.10-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb' and that is the only thing you need to install on normal 18.04 system where you want

psusi: You've kind of cherry picked one possible way of looking at this problem out of many different ways of solving it. You've also completely deleted my bug description and rephrased it down to a single sentance - yet it still has my name on it. I can't say I'm very happy about it. I'd rather
