[Bug 1485558] Re: NetworkManager breaks vboxnet* connections since 15.04, worked in 14.04 and 14.10, nm-applet fills with irrelevant entries.
I'm experiencing exactly the same thing as the other report.

Title:
NetworkManager breaks vboxnet* connections since 15.04, worked in
14.04 and 14.10, nm-applet fills with irrelevant entries.
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On an Asus laptop running a freshly installed Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit, nm-
applet shows that NetworkManager wants to manage vboxnet0 and
vboxnet1. These are created by virtualbox which runs some guest OS
inside a VM. On previous Ubuntu releases, network-manager did not try
to manage them and there was no problem.
# Observed behavior
* nm-applet shows spinning animation for a long time, while it is not relevant. Clicking on "disconnect" in the menu unconfigures the interface which breaks it.
* after suspend-resume of the host, vboxnet* lose their correct configurations. vboxnet0 (a host-only interface where virtualbox runs a private dhcp server) gets a different IP address. Looks like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1460750 but does not feel like a bug in virtualbox.
# Expected behavior
* Just like in 14.04 and 14.10, these interfaces are just ignored by
network-manager and they just work.
# Additional information
* After reading http://superuser.com/questions/9720/disabling-
networkmanager-for-a-specific-interface tried to add these lines to
/etc/network/interfaces. Even after restarting network-manager, it has
no effect.
iface vboxnet0 inet manual
iface vboxnet1 inet manual
So, reverted the change.
* Tried from https://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2015/02/16/networkmanager-
for-administrators-part-1/ to add in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/ a
file 50-virtualbox.conf containing the following lines. Even after
restarting network-manager, it is ignored.
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=vboxnet0,vboxnet1
* This is not eactly like https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/13873, I'm not using Vagrant.
* Booting to 14.04 or 14.10 (that have been kept intact on the same machine) things just work as expected.
* /usr/share/doc/network-manager/NEWS.gz states that "'veth' interfaces are now unmanaged by default to cooperate better with external tools". Should vboxnet* be treated the same ?
* This seems on the topic but unclear to me: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731014
Thank you for your attention.
