As long as users have to spend a day searching and patching every application that was not built into the OS distribution then the OS will never make it to the mainstream and it will remain in the realm of hakers, nerds and others that have more time than money.

I need this to work for an end user, the fewer things they have to do the better. How do I run these scripts without gksudo? I'm not so concerned about security (I know call me crazy) but I can't have my users entering passwords all the time. Any help I appreciate. If I find the answer I'll share it here.

I believe you covered that very well with the device perms, and the usage of gksudo in the start/stop scripts settings for the interface. I must have another issue that is preventing the scripts from running correctly. Nevermind.

Right now, these scripts fail for me in vbox due to permissions. However, If I run them manually outside of vbox as root (or sudo them), they work very well. would you have any tips on how to grant a normal user the permissions to modify/create the br0 and tun0 interfaces?
