[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#835553: Bug#835553: network-manager: WiFi authentication fails after upgrade to 1.4.0

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

Update, see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770504

Workaround with 1.4.0 is to add this section to 
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

With this setting and "systemctl restart NetworkManager.service", WiFi 
authentication succeeds.

The upstream bug is a possible duplicate of:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770456

I have supplied a log file and left it to the maintainers to decide.

Kind regards,
