Public bug reported:

I have a dhcp server configured on wlan0, which is set up with a static
IP address and other configuration info in /etc/network/interfaces. By
rule, the Network Manager should completely ignore the device, when it
has settings for it defined in the mentioned file. But it seems to
ignore that. Then I added a configuration directive in
/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf as unmanaged-
devices=mac:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, which works until I log into gnome.

When I log into gnome, the Network Manager icon is missing, and I have
to do the following to get the icon in the desktop, as well as, the
network device:

sudo killall NetworkManger -9
sudo ifdown wlan0
sudo ifup wlan0

/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf content:

# This file is installed into /etc/NetworkManager, and is loaded by
