I posted this message to the fedora-test list about the latest update of NM in updates-testing https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2008-February/msg00381.html Versions running are: NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3302.fc8 NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3302.fc8 NetworkManager-devel-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3302.fc8 NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0-8.svn3302.fc8 NetworkManager-glib-devel-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3302.fc8 NetworkManager-debuginfo-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3302.fc8 NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3302.fc8 I've tried reinstalling the rpms and done a rpm -Va to ensure no corruption but I still have it all die. Unfortunately I've has to revert to 'ifup eth0' :-( Not much has changed since the post to the mailing list [root@euuklonw7300b1n ~]# service NetworkManager status NetworkManager dead but pid file exists I get alot of these messages through dmesg [root@euuklonw7300b1n ~]# dmesg | grep nm-system nm-system-setti[2559]: segfault at 8 rip 2aaaaaefa36a rsp 7fffad5d8670 error 4 nm-system-setti[2561]: segfault at 8 rip 2aaaaaefa36a rsp 7fffb7e156d0 error 4 And this time while going through the debug to retest I got the following nm-applet crash. I have the following network devices if that helps: Intel Pro Wireless - iwl3945 Broadcom BCM4401-B0 - b44 Huawei E220 WWAN usb dongle on 3UK (not always plugged in, but never actually got to work yet) Let me know if you need more information.

Do you have SELinux turned on, in enforcing or permissive mode, and what version of the selinux-policy-targeted RPM do you have installed?
policy rpm version is selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-87.fc8 Its in permissive mode. Will attach the output from a settroubleshoot browser thingy.

I've has to roll back to NM 0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3235.fc8 as I'm travelling next week and can't live without ease of use wireless :-) I did a 'rpm -e --nodeps' to force removal of NM and a 'yum install' with the updates-testing repo disabled and then just did a 'service NetworkManager restart' and appart from a error saying that NM can't find all the resources (or something like that) which I suspect is due to the downgrade its running fine which indicates its more that version for me than my system. Is there anything further I can test to help in the debug of this? Peter
svn3369.fc8 has the same problems for me. The nm-applet dies, and syslog gets flooded with messages like Mar 2 14:20:45 jumbovaio kernel: nm-system-setti[2399]: segfault at 00000004 eip 0017fbdb esp bf9a38a0 error 4 Mar 2 14:20:45 jumbovaio NetworkManager: <info> Trying to start the system settings daemon...

Rolling back to svn3235 gets the wireless card to work again.
Can you do the following for me please: 1) Download the appropriate debuginfo for your machine: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/NetworkManager/0.7.0/0.6.7.svn3369.fc8/i386/NetworkManager-debuginfo-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3369.fc8.i386.rpm http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/NetworkManager/0.7.0/0.6.7.svn3369.fc8/x86_64/NetworkManager-debuginfo-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3369.fc8.x86_64.rpm 2) yum install gdb glib2-debuginfo libnl-debuginfo 3) /sbin/service NetworkManager stop 4) gdb /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings 5) r --plugins=ifcfg-fedora 6) when it crashes, type 'backtrace', copy and paste the output of the backtrace into this bug Thanks!
Created attachment 296515 [details] Backtrace from svn3369 Backtrace as requested. Note that I have libnl-1.1-1.fc8 from updates testing, if this makes any difference. Still works OK with svn 3235 though.
Thanks! I think I've found it. Can you verify that the file '/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-wlan0' on your system is missing the ESSID= line? Without an SSID, there's not much NM can do with the file, but the system settings service wasn't correctly handling the missing ESSID= tag case.
*** Bug 432649 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3370.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8
The file /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-wlan0 has a blank ESSID line: # Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX # details blanked out ONBOOT=yes NETMASK= DHCP_HOSTNAME= IPADDR= DOMAIN= TYPE=Wireless ESSID= CHANNEL= MODE= RATE= Also, I'm pleased to confirm that the svn3370.fc8 builds now work correctly for me. Thanks.
