[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#842036: nmcli does not return after bringing up a connection

[Marc Haber]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.4.2-2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/nmcli

Hi,

on my notebook, nmcli does - sometimes - not return to the shell after
bringing up the wireless LAN:

|[12/791]mh at swivel:~ $ nmcli --ask con up my-SSID
|Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'my-SSID'.
|Password (802-11-wireless-security.psk):
<no output in six hours>

The connection is usable though.

Same thing sometimes happens with nmtui, when the TUI stays at the
"Connecting" stage.

If I can give more information, please say so.

Greetings
Marc
