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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:2157 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE control-center bug fix and enhancement update 2015-11-19 08:48:59 UTC

Description Vladimir Benes 2012-10-22 08:45:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
when I go into wireless profile in control-center Network tool there is a button that is used for (dis)connecting to a network. After turning off wifi from gnome-shell applet this button never turns back from grayed out state. You need to go back to profiles (networks) overview and then back to profile to be able to use it again.
What is even more broken is that after connecting back to the opened profile network that profile in control-center dialog says Out of range. When I go back to overview and back everything is OK again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.9.7.0-4.git20121004.el7.x86_64
control-center-3.6.0-1.el7.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.6.0-1.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
0.connect to a wireless network so you have a profile stored 
1.in the profile unset connect automatically (via nm-connection-editor)   
2.go into control-center Network dialog
3.go into the profile and leave the dialog open
4.in gnome-shell nm applet turn wifi off 
5.reenable wifi in the applet again
6.connect to the network via Network dialog
   
Actual results:
buttons greyed out. have to go to overview and back to profile to be able to connect 

Expected results:
profile state should be updated correctly

Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2013-05-09 15:07:21 UTC 
Can you retest with control-center-3.8.*, a lot has changed in a minor version update. Thanks.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2014-03-22 07:04:48 UTC 
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.
Comment 4 Tomas Pelka 2015-05-14 10:10:15 UTC 
I haven't met this issue with control-center-3.14.4-2.el7, I think this is fixed by the rebase.

Thanks
Tom
