Title:
  NetworkManager doesn't support bridge interface defined in
  /etc/network/interfaces

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I need a network bridge for my virtualbox VMs on my desktop computer.
  If I create a br0 bridge in /etc/network/interfaces, it works but
  Network Manager applet doesn't see any active network connection, and
  as such I can't connect to VPN anymore.
