Package: network-manager Version: 1.4.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I'm running Debian Stretch and wireless usb-adapter (which needs firmware-realtek) does no longer work. I've seen that sid (unstable) has newer packages of gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 and network-manager so I've tried them as well with pinning Package: * Pin: release a=stretch Pin-Priority: 500 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 499 and then sudo apt install gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0/unstable sudo apt install network-manager/unstable But the sid packages have the same problem: dmesg shows "link is not ready" dmesg | grep 8712u [ 40.611495] r8712u: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
