[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#950278: network-manager: nm sometimes ignoring unmanaged-devices option in conf file

[Jürgen Bausa]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.14.6-2+deb10u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I put the following option to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=mac:98:9B:CB:12:XX:XX 

However, nm still connects sometimes to this AP. Most of the times nm behaves ok and ignores the AP,
but at least twice it connected to th AP that should be ignored.

Regards,

Juergen
