NetworkManager crashes after reboot

[Leo Milano]

I upgraded my HP Chromebook 14 from 15.04 to 15.10 beta. After cold boot, NetworkManager crashes and I get the popup to send a bug report for a NM crash. There is no network, either. Restarting the NetworkManager service from a terminal fixes the issue ... until next reboot :)

~$ sudo service NetworkManager restart

Just a quick note.This problem persists after the official release of 15.10.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug is also present in the current 16.04 LTS release, the crash can be prevented by blacklisting the cdc_ether driver. The 3g modem module I believe is responsible for the crash is the huawei mu733. This bug was not present in the 15.04 release.

This bug is introduced between network manager versions 0.9.10.0-4ubuntu23 and 1.0.4-0ubuntu1. Just tested network-manager 1.2.2-0ubuntu3 and the bug is still present.

I get this problem when using any 16.04 release (GalliumOS, LinuxLiteOS).

15.04 worked fine. Workround is to add blacklist cdc_ether
