[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#835922: network-manager: NetworkManager 1.4.0-1 breaks wifi

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hi Vivia!

This can be easily worked around by disabling the feature which causes the problem,
just add the following lines to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

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

Please also don't set the severity of a bug to "grave" or "serious" unless you understand
the ramifications of doing so, i.e. choosing this severity can result in packages being
removed from testing automatically. This is also probably the reason why the maintainer
downgraded the severity to "important".

Since the fix has already been committed upstream and also backported to the 1.4.x, you
can expect the fix to arrive in Debian quite soonish.

Thanks,
Adrian
