[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#617309: network-manager: Does not reconnect to Wi-Fi until system restart, after upgrade

[Alex Dănilă]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.2-6
Severity: important


Hi,

After a NM upgrade or other upgrades which would stop the wireless 
connection (I think for example the firmware upgrades), network-manager 
is not able to connect back to the wireless network until a computer 
restart, no matter of my NM restarts or other stuff I try. The correct 
wireless networks appear in a matter of seconds after the NM restart 
(ex. farther away networks have lower signal, so reporting looks just 
fine), but when I click to connect on any Wi-Fi network, I instantly get 
the message that it has been disconnected. I can see the following types 
of messages (I also attached more complete files):

There are two connections there, a regular Wi-Fi (wlan0) and a 3G modem 
(ttyUSB2) which I use for this type of cases.

Please ask for more information if needed (also with a link on how to 
obtain it, if technical).

Thank you,
Alex
