Bug 655322

I see this message in all my Fedora 14 boxes (two desktops, a Lenovo T60p).  It doesn't appear to be directly causing any problems, but wireless on my T60p isn't working as well as I would like it so, so there may be some malign effects.

Here is a portion of /var/log/messages:

I am running F14 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:34:36 and
NetworkManager version as follows: (yum output)
Arch        : i686
Epoch       : 1
Version     : 0.8.1
Release     : 10.git20100831.fc14

It's been fixed upstream:
4b37101ef4e91efb57525ad694169b48b56a0a61 (master)
83e02840b5ce1cf8c122cc70918ddd57396c91db (NM_0_8)

I have the same issue on Fedora 14 x86_64. Because of this blocker bug, I am unable to upgrade to Fedora 14. I hope the fix will be rolled out in the package soon.

The Enable Wireless option is greyed out in NetworkManager. Please refer to the Forum thread http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1421680

So when can we test for Fedora 14?

I believe MODIFIED means that the patch is committed upstream (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=83e02840b5ce1cf8c122cc70918ddd57396c91db), but not yet packaged for Fedora.  I don't see anything in the changelog of the current rawhide NetworkManager-0.8.2-7.git20101117.fc15 package (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=217591)?  

I believe we need to wait for a build that contains this fix in rawhide, F15 (once branched) and F14?  Jirka can confirm.

Fedora 14 had a small test:
NM was not running so I did the yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing
NetworkManager-0.8.3.996-1.fc14
I then did service NetworkManager start

And voila: stuff worked as it did before the problems.
Connections stayed up, were not reconfigured in weird ways, etc.
Thanks!

Hmm.
