Package: network-manager Version: 0.8.1-6 Severity: serious Tags: d-i On upgrading to this version network manager stopped managing my wireless interface and my laptop's network was taken down.
/etc/network/interfaces contains a standard stanza as setup by d-i for a wireless interface: # The primary network interface allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp # wireless-* options are implemented by the wireless-tools package wireless-mode managed wireless-essid any /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf contained managed=false. Setting managed=true works around the problem. Unfortunatly the /etc/network/interfaces munger introduced to fix #530024 was not a sufficient fix. It doesn't munge the above stanza at all when I run it by hand, due to the wireless-mode and wireless-essid lines. So, bug #569215 has basically been all that has been keeping wireless and some other networks managed by network-manager on newly installed and upgraded systems, for the past 6+ months.. One approach would be for for /usr/lib/NetworkManager/ifblacklist_migrate.sh to convert stanzas containing any of these lines which d-i can include: wireless-mode managed wireless-essid * wireless-key1 * hostname * -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 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 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.2.24-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii isc-dhcp-client 4.1.1-P1-15 ISC DHCP client ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.88-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcrypt11 1.4.5-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnutls26 2.8.6-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgudev-1.0-0 164-2 GObject-based wrapper library for ii libnl1 1.1-6 library for dealing with netlink s ii libnm-glib2 0.8.1-6 network management framework (GLib ii libnm-util1 0.8.1-6 network management framework (shar ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.96-4 PolicyKit Authorization API ii libuuid1 2.17.2-3.3 Universally Unique ID library ii lsb-base 3.2-26 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii udev 164-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii wpasupplicant 0.6.10-2.1 client support for WPA and WPA2 (I Versions of packages network-manager recommends: ii dns 2.55-2+b1 A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP ii ipt 1.4.10-1 administration tools for packet fi ii mod 0.4+git.20100624t180933.6e79d15-1+b1 D-Bus service for managing modems ii pol 0.96-4 framework for managing administrat ii ppp 2.4.5-4 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) - da Versions of packages network-manager suggests: ii avahi-autoipd 0.6.27-3 Avahi IPv4LL network address confi -- Configuration Files: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
