Created attachment 478618 [details] incorrect entries in the plasmoid list Description of problem: the network manager plasmoid in KDE lists a huge amount of wired connections with the name "unknown". it also shows two wireless connections whose name begin "No such object path '/org/k...". clicking on them does not do anything. also some of my wireless networks are listed twice on the list. when i open the "manage connections" window, i see three wireless networks (the three i use) and no wired connections (just as it should). i have not done any configuration (except adding the three wireless networks and their keys), the superfluous entries have appeared without my interference. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 14 x86_64 KDE spin, KDE 4.5.5 kde-plasma-networkmanagement 0.28.20101011.fc14 NetworkManager 0.8.1 knetworkmanager-libs 0.28.20101011.fc14 How reproducible: not sure, and i don't have an idea how to get rid of the entries (i haven't tried deleting ~/.kde etc.) Additional info: i have attached a screenshot to show the incorrect behaviour
I colleague of mine experienced this too (@ fudcon), but only after a suspend/resume cycle of his laptop. you too?
Yes, I can confirm this happens after resuming the computer from sleep, not after a cold boot or relogin.
Thanks, updating summary.
As an addition to the bug, the plasmoid gets caught in a strange loop sometimes when resuming. dmesg is filled with: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready and the plasmoid switches wireless on and off completely amok. I have attached a gif animation showing its behaviour. If there's any need I can try to debug (given instructions) or file a bug also at bugs.kde.org.

First thing to check is when you see bogus APs in the list, run: nm-tool and see what it says for APs. That tool will list exactly what NetworkManager is exposing over D-Bus. If that list differs from what GUI tools say then the GUI tool has some bug in the caching logic it's using. nm-tool (or nmcli) allow you to figure out where to point the blame. There's a small possibility that NM isn't sending the right D-Bus signals out when removing APs from the scan list, but I'm fairly sure that's not the case. So lets start with nm-tool...
after suspend/resume, the GUI is listing 20 "Unknown" wired connections. it is also listing my own wireless network three times, and one additional hidden wireless network. when pressing "Show More..." it shows also the ~20 networks that nm-tool is listing. the list shown with nm-tool seems consistent before and after resume (before suspend 20 networks, after resume 21 networks, it varies due to bad signal strength with some networks). normally after logging in only known networks are listed. i guess this shows with a pretty good confidence which one is the real culprit. btw, should i file a bug at bugs.kde.org as well at this point?
Probably so. In the meantime, I'll see about whipping up a snapshot build to test further.
Here's something to try, kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.34.20110217.fc14 scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2847385
FWIW, after a quick check, this build fixes it for me
Same here, it seems like the issue is fixed with the version 0.34 Rex provided. I tested it a few times and have not managed to reproduce the unknown connections it was listing earlier. Thank you!
