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
