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.

/var/log/messages showing Network Manager Wait Online returning too soon

Description of problem:
On some systems, the nm-online utility returns success before the network is completely configured.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-25.git20131108.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
Depends on the system. In our testing using virtual machines, nm-online works as expected (e.g. does not return success until after stage 5 (IPv4 Commit). On at least one physical system, it reports success after stage 2 (Device Configure).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. sytemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
2. reboot
3. check /var/log/messages for ordering of "Started Network Manager Wait Online" message in relation to Network Manager "Activation ..." messages.
4. See attached (scrubbed) /var/log/messages file as an example


Additional info:
See related bug 837793 in Fedora 17 that was closed wontfix for lack of activity.

Would you try again with latest RHEL7 version?
There were fixes for the issue in NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-28.git20131212.

core: delay startup complete for initial carrier (rh #1030583)

Hello - The latest version I see either in Subscription Manager or from ftp.redhat.com is NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-25.git20131108. Am I missing something?

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This looks very much like the issue fixed by upstream commit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=61463ed2ab6ce61f8640bb4f871697a29f3a0639

and it should be long fixed.
