There's a bit of work that can be done at the NetworkManager level to avoid crashing when this kind of issue happen, so I've filed the task for this now; and there's a package I just uploaded to the ~ubuntu- desktop PPA: network-manager 0.9.3.995+git201203081848.bba834f- 0ubuntu1~mtrudel2; which fixes the crashes (but we still need the capabilities fixed at the driver level for encrypted networks to show properly. See https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ppa ; the packages should be built and ready in a few hours.
Any help with testing this fix and the new package will be very welcome :) ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) ** Package changed: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) => network-manager (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908380 Title: [ipw2200] nm-applet crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message() Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: In 12.04 Alpha 1.Restarted after installing updates.Noticed a dark radio signal meter.Clicked and saw that my wlan was disconected.Clicked on my wlan to reconnect.Then network manager crashed.Still have wireless connection to my router and the net.
