Seeing that you run an older kernel, this could be related.

Chris is also running an somewhat older kernel, i.e. 3.9 whereas I use
the latest Debian provided kernel (3.13-1-amd64) and most likely due to
that don't run into this issue (thanks Chris, btw, for the detailed bug
report).

Reading the redhat bugzilla [0], this will require both a libnl [1] and
NM [2] fix.

I've CCed Heiko, our libnl maintainer. Heiko, can you update libnl
accordingly and cherry-pick [1]?

Cheers,
Michael
