This usually happens when you have reference count to the corresponding
module > 0.

In this case, I believe it is the vboxnet module. You should only see
the message, if you have active guest VMs, and you try to do a
virtualbox service restart. Are you doing anything of that sort ? If
yes, why ?

As for network manager, I have no clue if that can interfere. I don't
use  network manager.
But I don't see any reason why it should.
