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.

»···gtk_entry_set_text (priv->cak, cak);

cak and ckn are possibly NULL, triggering an assertion.

  cak ?: ""



Rest lgtm

It looks good to me as is.




A minor nitpick, maybe you want to fix it :)

When you add a new MACSec connection, and start editing the MACsec tab...

Fill in Device and Parent (so that the "Save" tooltip no longer complains about these).

Then, change Mode to EAP. Now the tooltip says:

  Invalid setting MACsec: macsec: EAP key management requires '802-1x' setting 
  presence

Ok, so you to to the 802-1x setting, and surprisingly the checkpox is set. That is, 802-1x is enabled, although the Save tooltip still claims it isn't.
