This bug unavoidably impacts anybody using VirtualBox to run guest VMs under Ubtuntu with Host Interface Networking (i.e. "real" networking), since this calls for the installation of bridge-utils and modification of /etc/network/interfaces with the addition of code like:
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0
This causes NetworkManager to report Unmanaged Device Found at boot and results in no nm-applet icon appearing in the system tray.
