Actually, in hindsight after renaming the bug, it looks like there are two bugs identified here. 1) NetworkManager does not depend on or recommend the vlan package, and silently breaks when it isn't installed; and 2) from comments 4 and 5, there is a separate issue with a glob match for NICs in ifupdown.
Since Mike filed this bug originally, I think it makes sense to track this bug as the first issue. For the second issue, SwaJime and Arnaud, please could you use a separate bug to track this?
It's the second issue I spotted that caused me to assign Wes this bug, but thank you for looking at the NetworkManager GUI issue too!
One complication is that this change would pull vlan onto a bunch of CD images. I'd like feedback from the release or SRU teams before sponsoring this. Or, Mathieu, as this is Network Manager related, would you mind chiming in please?
