Title:
  [wily-proposed] --config option not respected any more (causes test
  failures)

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Pretty much all NM integration tests fail on the wily-proposed version
  (1.0.4), as NM tears down the (fake) "remote" side of the hwsim wifi
  and veth interfaces. Turns out this is due to not respecting the local
  --config option any more, which blacklists these devices to avoid NM
  tearing them down at startup:

  $ NetworkManager --log-level=debug --debug --config=/tmp/tmpyehdrfvu/NetworkManager.conf
  NetworkManager-Message: <info>  No config file found or given; using /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
  NetworkManager[5227]: <info>  Read config: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
  [...]

  In the Ubuntu packaging bzr I reverted most of the disabling of tests,
  and also tuned the timeouts back down to reasonable values. On top of
  that, if you change

  to work around this bug, all the tests succeed again, at least on
  amd64. On i386 they still fail because NM crashes right away (bug
  1492126).
