Package: network-manager Version: 0.8.4.0-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I upgraded to network-manager 0.9.0-2 and then was unable to connect to my wireless network. Downgrading to 0.8.4-3 solved the problem. Investigating I discovered that the SSID of my network "16" is causing the wrong information to be passed to wpa_supplicant. When running with 0.8.4-3 the NetworkManager log contains: NetworkManager[8757]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) co mplete. NetworkManager[8757]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) starting... NetworkManager[8757]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 4 -> 5 (reason 0) NetworkManager[8757]: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless): connection 'Auto 16' h as security, and secrets exist. No new secrets needed. NetworkManager[8757]: <info> Config: added 'ssid' value '16' NetworkManager[8757]: <info> Config: added 'scan_ssid' value '1' NetworkManager[8757]: <info> Config: added 'key_mgmt' value 'WPA-PSK' NetworkManager[8757]: <info> Config: added 'psk' value '<omitted>' (note the config added 'ssid' value '16' line). When running with 0.9.0-2 I get the following log: NetworkManager[10076]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) c omplete. NetworkManager[10076]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) starting... NetworkManager[10076]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: prepare -> config (r eason 'none') [40 50 0] NetworkManager[10076]: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless): connection '16' has s ecurity, and secrets exist. No new secrets needed. NetworkManager[10076]: <info> Config: added 'ssid' value '^P' NetworkManager[10076]: <info> Config: added 'scan_ssid' value '1' NetworkManager[10076]: <info> Config: added 'key_mgmt' value 'WPA-PSK' NetworkManager[10076]: <info> Config: added 'auth_alg' value 'OPEN' NetworkManager[10076]: <info> Config: added 'psk' value '<omitted>' Note that the ssid value is now ^P which is character code 16 - the actual log contains the control character. So it looks like something is treating the SSID as a number and converting that to a character code instead of treating it as an opaque string.
