Title:
   ifupdown hides the connections of the keyfile plugin if there are
  connections managed by ifupdown (not NM)

Status in NetworkManager:
  Fix Released
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  SRU JUSTIFICATION:

  Simple patch to avoid blocking loading all the connections if eth0 is
  found by the ifupdown plugin (e.g. configured in
  /etc/network/interfaces), with ifupdown set to unmanaged. Some further
  connections may need to be loading from the keyfile plugin.

  TEST CASES:

  
  ---

  The ifupdown plugin causes the keyfile plugin to break if there is a connection
  managed by ifupdown (/etc/network/interfaces) and the keyfile plugin is loaded
  after ifupdown as specified in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf by
  default.

  A workaround is to change the order of the plugins and make sure ifupdown is
  the last. So change:

  plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

  to

  plugins=keyfile,ifupdown

  in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
