Is there any plan to get this into 14.04 LTS?

I run Mint, which is going to stay on 14.04 LTS for the next few
releases, so unless it gets into 14.04 LTS, Mint users won't be able to
get this fix for - potentially - a long time.

Title:
  bridge_ignore_without_connections.patch breaks NM created bridge at
  boot

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I've created a bridge with network-manager-gnome, the bridge slave
  physical device is eth0. After a reboot the bridge is brought up, but
  eth0 isn't attached.

  First test-case:
  Created a bridge with network-manager-gnome with the bridge slave physical device is eth0 and remove all other connections. After a reboot the bridge is brought up, but eth0 isn't attached. When I open /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and save it without any modification, eth0 is instantly added to my bridge. Strange!

  Second test-case:
  Created a bridge with network-manager-gnome with the bridge slave physical device is eth0. Disable the "autoconnect" of the default wired network. After a reboot the bridge is brought up, but eth0 isn't  attached. Instead eth0 is brought up and full configured.

  After compiling and testing different upstream versions, i could track
  the problem down to bridge_ignore_without_connections.patch.  A
  network-manager package without this specific patch, brings my bridge
  up at boot and adds eth0 to the bridge in both test-cases.

  I've checked the behaviour on my ubuntu 13.10 box with network-manager
  (0.9.8.0-0ubuntu22)  and the trusty version network-manager
  (0.9.8.8-0ubuntu1) .

  Till now i couldn't  encounter any sideeffects of removing this patch
  with the bridge created by libvirt.

  Regards
  Mathias Kresin
