Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.10.0-3 Severity: normal Network manager automatically changes my wireless monitor interfaces to managed interfaces. This makes it possible to use monitor interfaces together with network-manager. Also the created monitor interfaces have the same mac addresses as the wlan0 devices and thus the automatically started wpa_supplicant goes crazy and takes all the CPU time of one core and prints following things to the syslog:
NetworkManager[2875]: <error> [1413475379.075720] [supplicant-manager/nm-supplicant-interface.c:856] interface_add_cb(): (moni0): error adding interface: wpa_supplicant couldn't grab this interface. The monitor interface is created on a T420 with following command: $ iw phy phy0 interface add moni0 type monitor flags control It results in following state (it should be monitor and not managed): $ sudo iw dev phy#0 Interface moni0 ifindex 7 wdev 0x5 addr 02:23:45:67:89:01 type managed Interface wlan0 ifindex 3 wdev 0x1 addr 02:23:45:67:89:01 type managed channel 48 (5240 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 5240 MHz This problem can only be fixed by disabling the network-manager (!!!!!), deleting the moni0 device and creating it again. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 Debian Release: jessie/sid 500 unstable http.debian.net --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =========================================-+-================ libc6 (>= 2.17) | libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2) | libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.102) | libgcrypt11 (>= 1.4.5) | libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.37.3) | libgnutls-deb0-28 (>= 3.2.10-0) | libgudev-1.0-0 (>= 165) | libmm-glib0 (>= 1.0.0) | libndp0 (>= 1.2) | libnewt0.52 | libnl-3-200 (>= 3.2.21) | libnl-genl-3-200 (>= 3.2.21) | libnl-route-3-200 (>= 3.2.7) | libnm-glib4 (>= 0.9.10.0) | libnm-util2 (>= 0.9.10.0) | libpolkit-gobject-1-0 (>= 0.101) | libreadline6 (>= 6.0) | libsoup2.4-1 (>= 2.39.3) | libsystemd-daemon0 (>= 31) | libsystemd-login0 (>= 31) | libuuid1 (>= 2.16) | init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~) | lsb-base (>= 3.2-14) | wpasupplicant (>= 0.7.3-1) | dbus (>= 1.1.2) | udev | adduser | isc-dhcp-client (>= 4.1.1-P1-4) | libpam-systemd | policykit-1 | Recommends (Version) | Installed ===========================-+-=========== ppp (>= 2.4.6) | 2.4.6-2 dnsmasq-base | 2.72-2 iptables | 1.4.21-2 modemmanager | 1.4.0-1 crda | 3.13-1 Suggests (Version) | Installed ============================-+-=========== avahi-autoipd | 0.6.31-4 _______________________________________________ Pkg-utopia-maintainers mailing list Pkg-utopia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-utopia-maintainers
