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.

history info
How reproducible:
Happens everytime nm-applet is launched if the IPv4 connection on my enabled wifi network is set to "Manual". Automatic (DHCP) and Automatic (DHCP) Addresses work fine.
It occurs on both of my laptops. I am not sure if they have the same wifi chip or not. One has:
05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to packages as seen above.
2. Kill nm-applet and relaunch nm-applet (or reboot)
3. If you have IPv4 set to "Manual" it should crash within a few seconds but not more than a minute or so.
3. Otherwise, Right click on the nm-applet
4. Select Edit Connections
5. Click on your active wifi connection
6. Select edit
7. Click on the IPv4 tab.
8. Select "Manual" for the Method drop down
9. Configure to your router
Actual results:
Expected results:
Additional info:
--When nm-applet is typed in a terminal window it will display the two green dots and have the animation like it is connecting. After crashing the following will be displayed
"Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
--I am using CentOS 6.4, but I was told to post here as well
--I am using WPA2 encryption
--The internet also stops functioning
