Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.8.0-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
My network connection worked (both wired and
wireless) were tested, in an office setting (the wireless was known
to work where I was staying). At this office, I upgraded
network-manager and firmware-realtek, and still had no problems
connecting. When I got to where I was staying the night, as soon as
I brought my laptop out of suspend, NetworkManager tried to connect
and then the systray icon disappeared. I tried starting it again,
and it connected to the BLANCHER-Guest network, rather than the
BLANCHER network. When I changed it to BLANCHER, the animation
seemed to indicate that it was almost connected, then the icon would
disappear. My clue that it was a segfault came from dmesg:
[ 7814.774882] NetworkManager[17068]: segfault at 8 ip
0000000000484b39
sp 00007fffa6232da0 error 4 in NetworkManager[400000+fb000]
This message appears every time I try to start NetworkManager, and it
crashes every time.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tried rebooting, but the segfault message in dmesg did not
give
me hope that it would work. I also upgraded my kernel from
linux-image-3.2.0-1-amd64 to linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64,
thinking
there might be an incompatibility in the non-free firmware.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Neither of these things worked. To workaround the problem (and
restore my Internet connection), I manually configured a wired
connection, and installed and loaded wicd and wicd-gtk. I then
removed the manual /etc/network/interfaces connection I had
made
for eth0.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected NetworkManager to bring up my wireless connection,
and
not crash.
I installed network-manager-dbg hopefully to make it easier to
debug
I am attaching a set of strace output run against NetworkManager
(run as root). When NetworkManager segfaulted, strace did not
return, so I had to SIGKILL it. Let me know if there's a
better way
to capture this info. I'm also including a syslog excerpt which
shows NetworkManager, wpa_supplicant, and dhclient messages in
case
they are useful.
Since wicd works, I'm not inclined to believe it's the wireless
or
wired drivers, or wpa_supplicant, or any other piece of software
than network-manager.
