I used this line to ignore bridge interfaces as well and use wildcards:
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:docker*;interface-name:br-*;interface-name:vmnet*;interface-name:vboxnet*

This tweak helped me with docker containers gets unavailable inside of vmware linux mint 20 (ubuntu 20.04) after pause/resume.
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:docker*;interface-name:veth*;interface-name:br-*;interface-name:vmnet*;interface-name:vboxnet*
