Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
.NetworkManager rebased to version 1.40.16 The `NetworkManager` packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.40.16, which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version: * The `nm-cloud-setup` utility preserves externally added addresses. * A race condition was fixed that prevented the automatic activation of MACsec connections at boot. * NetworkManager now correctly calculates expiration times for items configured from IPv6 neighbor discovery messages. * NetworkManager now automatically updates the `/etc/resolv.conf` file when the configuration changes. * NetworkManager no longer sets non-existent interfaces as primary when activating a bond. * Setting a primary interface in a bond now always works, even if the interface does not exist when you active the bond. * The `NetworkManager --print-config` command no longer prints duplicate entries. * The `ifcfg-rh` plug-in can now read InfiniBand P-Key connection profiles without an explicit interface name. * The `nmcli` utility can now remove a bond port connection profile from a bond. * A race condition was fixed that could occur during the activation of `veth` profiles if the peer already existed. * NetworkManager now rejects DHCPv6 leases if all addresses fail IPv6 duplicate address detection (DAD). * NetworkManager now waits until interfaces are connected before trying to resolve the system hostname on these interfaces from DNS. * Profiles created by the `nm-initrd-generator` utility now have a lower-than-default priority.

Comment 6 Thomas Haller 2023-03-07 07:51:57 UTC
the 9.2 release notes link to the upstream NEWS file. That seems useful to me, but is not done here? Maybe do that as well?

The exact link would be https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/blob/1.40.16/NEWS
