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.

Description Milan Crha 2016-04-25 11:56:54 UTC
I just updated my RHEL 7 instance to the latest available (I can give a list of all updated packages, if needed) and since restart the NetworkManager 1.2.0-0.1.beta3 claims that there is no connection available, despite me being connected over ethernet cable. The gnome-shell claims I've the Airplane mode on, and that I should turn it off by a hardware switch, but that's nonsense, because the only thing I have the hardware switch for is Wi-Fi and it is turned off. The connection also worked flawlessly before the update, I downloaded all the packages with it. The laptop sits in a docking station, if it matters.

Comment 3 Thomas Haller 2016-04-25 14:21:17 UTC
Please provide the logfile of NetworkManager.

Preferably with debug-logging enabled, by configuring it in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and restarting.

Configure there:

  [logging]
  level=TRACE


(but for completeness, the logging parts without debug-logging when you experienced the problem the first time, are interesting too).

thank you.

The NetworkManager log captured by:
$ cat /var/log/messages | grep NetworkManager | grep "Apr 26" >nm.log

Comment 5 Thomas Haller 2016-04-26 12:35:31 UTC
Or can you give more specifics about the installed versions (kernel-version, libnl3-version)

You started with rhel-7.2, and upgraded to 7.3 beta? How exactly did you do that, for me to reproduce?

Thank you.

Comment 6 Milan Crha 2016-04-26 13:15:44 UTC
Right, I thought it'll be better to give you my package versions, thus I tried to get the right one meanwhile. It was a challenge, because I was downloading the older version from brew, from a Fedora installation. I ended with this:

   $ rpm -qa | egrep -e "NetworkManager|libnm|network-manager" | sort

On the working version, where gnome-shell claims:
- Wired connection (online, I can ping external servers)
- WiFi connection (off by hardware switch)
- Airplane Mode (on by hardware switch - I've no idea where it gets it from)
the packages are:
	libnma-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	libnm-gtk-1.0.6-2.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-1.0.6-29.el7_2.x86_64
	NetworkManager-adsl-1.0.6-29.el7_2.x86_64
	network-manager-applet-1.0.6-2.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-bluetooth-1.0.6-29.el7_2.x86_64
	NetworkManager-glib-1.0.6-29.el7_2.x86_64
	NetworkManager-libnm-1.0.6-29.el7_2.x86_64
	NetworkManager-libreswan-1.0.6-3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-openconnect-0.9.8.6-2.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-openvpn-1.0.8-1.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-team-1.0.6-29.el7_2.x86_64
	NetworkManager-tui-1.0.6-29.el7_2.x86_64
	NetworkManager-vpnc-1.0.8-1.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome-1.0.8-1.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-wifi-1.0.6-29.el7_2.x86_64
	NetworkManager-wwan-1.0.6-29.el7_2.x86_64

On the non-working version, where gnome-shell claims only:
- Airplane Mode (on by hardware switch)
the packages are:
	libnma-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	libnm-gtk-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-adsl-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	network-manager-applet-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-bluetooth-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-glib-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-libnm-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-libreswan-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-openconnect-0.9.8.6-2.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-openvpn-1.0.8-1.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-team-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-tui-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-vpnc-1.0.8-1.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome-1.0.8-1.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-wifi-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64
	NetworkManager-wwan-1.2.0-0.1.beta3.el7.x86_64

These are the only packages I changed to make it work (or break).

*** Bug 1330866 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 9 Thomas Haller 2016-04-27 09:32:01 UTC
This bug happens, because the NetworkManger package was compiled against a newer kernel (from rhel-7.2), but now runs on an older one.

This was fixed upstream by commit https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=05e454a98d02e69afd28fe371be48b40c4069a76


When using 1.2.0-0.1.beta3, you also need a rhel-7.3 kernel.



A fixed package is on the way, which doesn't have this issue and would work with 7.2 kernel as well.

Comment 11 Milan Crha 2016-04-28 15:37:09 UTC
I can confirm that this package (together with the same version of network-manager-applet packages) fixed the network issue for me after reboot (re-login wasn't enough, which is expected).

Comment 13 Vladimir Benes 2016-06-06 10:51:07 UTC
tested with kernel 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 and NetworkManager-1.2.0-2.el7.x86_64 w/o any problem
