Looks like a fun crash ;) Roland, would you be able to run NM in a debugger so that we can figure out where it crashes?
Please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrashes for how you can do this; but you can also do so quickly by installing: network-manager-dbg And starting NM as so (after running 'sudo stop network-manager' to stop it): sudo gdb --args /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon --log-level=debug That will start NM with debug logs and in a debugger; once it crashes, try to use the command 'bt full' to get a stacktrace of the failure. Hopefully with this we'll have sufficient data despite missing other debugging symbols. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025498 Title: network-manager segfaulting after bringing up Wi-Fi link Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On my system after updating today, I see network manager bring up my wifi link and then immediately start reconnecting.
