[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#949530: network-manager 1.22.4 still failing dhcp on some wifi networks

[Benjamin Redelings]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.22.4-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

For some wifi networks, network-manager fails to join the network.  1.22.4 was a big improvement over 1.22.2, but there are still some problems.
It logs lines like these:

NetworkManager[854]: <info>  [1578839858.0531] device (p2p-dev-wlp4s0): supplicant management interface state: associated -> complet>
NetworkManager[854]: <info>  [1578839858.0534] device (wlp4s0): state change: config -> ip-config (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: '>

NetworkManager[854]: <info>  [1578839901.4965] device (enp0s31f6): state change: unavailable -> unmanaged (reason 'sleeping', sys-if>

I used to be able to join this network with previous versions of network-manager.

The gitlab issue links a commit after 1.22.4.

Issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/issues/324
Commit: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/c19eefc6ec9d0a52f4d3ce75e70cfd6dab60aa2f

I've seen the log message "Activation: Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Commit) error accepting lease: failed to accept lease: Cannot allocate memory"
but I don't get this every time.

If you roll an update that includes commit c19eefc6, I will check whether this fixes the problem.
