Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.4.0-6 Followup-For: Bug #668885 Control: severity -1 important
I think this warrants fixing. I'd even argue that the severity is higher than important. To sum up: Jan 19 13:26:35 spike NetworkManager[4083]: <debug> [1358598395.547836] [nm-ip6-manager.c:277] rdnss_expired(): (wlan0): IPv6 RDNSS information expired Jan 19 13:26:35 spike NetworkManager[4083]: <debug> [1358598395.547910] [nm-ip6-manager.c:312] set_rdnss_timeout(): (wlan0): removing expired RA-provided nameserver fe80::4ee6:76ff:fe51:ae30 Jan 19 13:26:35 spike NetworkManager[4083]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: activated -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable') [100 120 5] Jan 19 13:26:35 spike NetworkManager[4083]: <warn> Activation (wlan0) failed for access point (Pigeon_A) Jan 19 13:26:35 spike NetworkManager[4083]: <warn> Activation (wlan0) failed. * When your network is configured to send RDNSS information (which is now passed to network-manager due to a recent kernel change), then network-manager will flap the *link* when this information expires. * Network upstream configuration can often not be influenced, even though the workaround seems to be to ignore RFC advise and set a higher timeout for RDNSS. * This affects both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity, in the case of wireless the link is killed ("disconnected" event) and reestablished. I can imagine the same happening on wired links, possibly paying the STP timeout on the switch port. The same issue is also listed in the RH bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753482 It references a commit that applies a hack, although it's entirely unclear to me why n-m sees the need to flap the whole link when some DNS server information expires, this seems crazy. http://git.pavlix.net/gitweb/?p=NetworkManager.git;a=commitdiff;h=62f135d519fadd883cf72e0cd67f35269bae1d57;hp=9bf3c01e27f865cb93ed5115ed9c2ac260b53ecc Kind regards Philipp Kern -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages network-manager depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dbus 1.6.8-1 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii isc-dhcp-client 4.2.4-4 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-3 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-2 ii libgudev-1.0-0 175-7 ii libnl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-genl-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnl-route-3-200 3.2.7-4 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.4.0-6 ii libnm-util2 0.9.4.0-6 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-3 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.3 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8 ii udev 175-7 ii wpasupplicant 1.0-3+b2 Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii crda 1.1.2-1 ii dnsmasq-base 2.62-3 ii iptables 1.4.14-3 ii modemmanager 0.5.2.0-2 ii policykit-1 0.105-3 ii ppp 2.4.5-5.1+b1 Versions of packages network-manager suggests: ii avahi-autoipd 0.6.31-1 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
