.NetworkManager rebased to version 1.40
The `NetworkManager` packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.40, which provides a number of enhancements and bug fixes over the previous version:
* The device state files in the `/run/NetworkManager/devices/` directory now have new sections, `[dhcp4]` and `[dhcp6]`, which contain the DHCP options of the current lease.
* NetworkManager supports setting an IPv6 Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) in the `ipv6.mtu` property of connections.
* NetworkManager uses the `nm.debug` kernel command line option to enable debug logging.
* Carrier detection has been improved.
* NetworkManager now restarts the DHCP client for a connection if the MAC address changes on a device.
* Wifi hotspots now use a stable random channel number unless you select a specific channel.
* NetworkManager now disables the Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) transition mode if you set the `wifi.key-mgmt` property to `wpa-psk` and the network interface does not support Protected Management Frames (PMF). The transition mode caused problems in certain setups in this scenario. To explicitly enable the WPA3 transitioning mode, set `wifi.key-mgmt` to `sae`.
* NetworkManager now shortens an excessively long hostname received from a DHCP server to the first dot or to 64 characters.

Description

> * NetworkManager prefers the first static IPv6 addresses from the `ipv6.addresses` property and the order was inverted to be consistent with how NetworkManager handles multiple IPv4 addresses in a connection pro file. This is correct for upstream and rhel-9.1, but in rhel-8 we reverted this part to not change behavior. rhel-9.1 will get this new behavior. See bug 2097293 (RHEL-9.1) and bug 2097270 (RHEL-8.7) which are about this very thing. Just drop this point for 8.7 (but not 9.1). the rest lgtm. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory (NetworkManager bug fix and enhancement update), and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2022:7680 |
