No button to launch nm-connection-editor for Advanced functionality like VLANs

[Scott Palmer]

Gnome removed the ability to add/remove VLANs. When people ask / complain about how this is to be accomplished, they are usually referred to nm-connection-editor.

Can a Gnome developer please add an "Advanced Configuration" button that launches nm-connection-editor?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

ubuntu doesn't plan to diverge from upstream there, since it was not sent to GNOME closing
