Thank you Sebastien, but the issue I am reporting is not truly a "crash" in that a crash report is not generated. Rather, the network manager simply stops functioning properly and/or responding to inputs. Is there another way to submit this kind of error? - M.

If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'.
