nm-applet crashes when attempting to connect to WPA Enterprise connection

[Brian Croom]

I am experiencing the applet crashing whenever I attempt to connect to my school's wireless network (WPA Enterprise, PEAP auth). When I select the network from the list, it brings up the dialog asking for credentials, which I enter, it then brings up the confirmation dialog asking whether I want to supply a certificate. I hit the ignore button and the process dies. This is the console output:

brian@brian-laptop:~$ nm-applet --sm-disable

** (nm-applet:9843): WARNING **: Invalid connection: 'NMSetting8021x' / 'identity' invalid: 2

** (nm-applet:9843): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_menu_item_activate_helper(): Invalid connection; asking for more information.

[immediately after I press the ignore button]

** (nm-applet:9843): WARNING **: Invalid connection: 'NMSettingWirelessSecurity' / 'proto' invalid: 1

** (nm-applet:9843): WARNING **: <WARN> wireless_dialog_response_cb(): Couldn't create other network connection.

I am running the latest packaged version of nm-applet on Intrepid (0.7~~svn20080817t183748-0ubuntu1). (Note: It also crashes if I try to add the connection manually instead of selecting the network, however I'm not convinced that these are actually the same bug as the symptoms are a bit different.) I can not duplicate either of these issues on Hardy - there I can connect to the network beautifully.

I am also having this issue, connecting to WPA2 TTLS with PAP inner. This is on intrepid amd64 with the current svn listed above. My error is slightly different:

** (nm-applet:9543): WARNING **: Invalid connection: 'NMSetting8021x' / 'identity' invalid: 2

** (nm-applet:9543): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_menu_item_activate_helper(): Invalid connection; asking for more information.

Dmesg reports this after the faile connection attempt:

[ 295.317900] nm-applet[9259]: segfault at 3034706577 ip 00007fea40086a8a sp 00007fff4e33b590 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.1800.0[7fea4002f000+c2000]

The network-manager-gnome_0.7~~svn20080817t183748-0ubuntu1_i386.deb package fixes the issue for me (up-to-date Intrepid x86, Atheros card with madwifi driver, WPA Enterprise with TLS tunnel)

Fixed for me as well (Intrepid amd64, Intel 4965agn with the iwlcore driver, WPA-EAP with TTLS/PAP).

Can we close this bug?
