[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#754395: network-manager: breaks networking by no longer reading connections from /e/n/interfaces

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-1
Severity: important


Hi.

Actually severty should be critical, since this breaks networking.

With that version, it seems that network-breaker no longer correctly
reads stuff from /e/n/interfaces .

I mean that has been buggy ever since, and e.g. WPA-EAP connections
never worked with NM, but now normal WPA-PSK connections aren’t working
any longer as well.

It seems that the ifupdown plugin stopped exporting any connections/ifaces,
whose names are longer than 15 characters, which easily happens with
WiFi, when using e.g. ifscheme as well.

Downgrading to 0.9.8.10-4 fixes the issue.


Cheers,
Chris.
