Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.8.0-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When defining multiple connections with the same SSID (e.g. for the purpose of 
auto-connecting one of them, with an associated VPN, and manually connecting 
the other without VPN to allow login on a WiFi portal), the NetworkManager 
daemon repeatedly crashes on use of these connections. 

nm-applet seems to indicate that this is a valid use-case, showing submenu's 
for the SSID in question. The behaviour manifests itself in when 
auto-connecting or when manually selecting one of the connections involved. 
nm-applet hides as soon as NetworkManager crashes and sometimes spawns a dialog 
"".

reproducibility: frequently, not always. Having freshly defined the connections 
everything seems fine. A reboot (i.e. more than a network-manager / nm-applet 
restart) usually is enough to trigger the problems.

This behaviour also manifests itself in the network-manager in Ubuntu 13.04 
(0.9.8.0-0ubuntu6). I haven't filed a bug with Ubuntu. I'd be happy to supply 
more information, but are not sure what to look for. Could you indicate which 
steps to take to supply you with more useful information?

Workaround: delete duplicate connections, restart NetworkManager.
