what's the best way to report problems with kubuntu 15.10?

I decided to go ahead and give 15.10 a try to see if it solved the problems I've 
been having with 15.04 (multi-display), and I've run into a couple new issues.

First, the ethernet port has changed from eth0 to enx00249b0e398f

   I think this is a systemd thing where they think they are better identifying 
the interface. Unfortunantly the ports are not labled like this on any system 
that I've ever used, so naming things this way just means I have no way of 
knowing (or remembering) the name of the interface.

Second (compounding the first), network manager doesn't see anything to manage. 
I'm able to get the wired network working using dhclient (once I do ifconfig -a 
to find the interface name)

Third, the login time is insanely long, 10+ minutes from providing my password 
until the panel finally shows up. For the first 5 or so minutes the network 
interface doesn't show up in an ifconfig -a either

Given the insanely long login time, I haven't tried testing to see how it 
handles interfaces going away during a suspend (I just do without this powerful 
machine and use my old T60)
