[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#903996: network-manager-config-connectivity-debian fills up logs

[Mark van Rossum]

Thank you for looking into this.
I will give it a try.


Note, previously I saw the bug not on the eduroam wireless network, but 
only on Wifi from my Vodafone mobile router.
It is possible that vodafone does more content filtering than eduroam.
Yet as I reported, I could access network-test.debian.org/nm fine with both.


What logs are you exactly looking for?

This is what I saw in user.log LAST TIME IT HAPPENED.
