Package: network-manager<br>Version: 0.6.6-1<br>Severity: serious<br><br>--- Please enter the report below this line. ---<br>NetworkManager hangs indefinitely on boot after initializing an ethernet interface while a link beat is detected - regardless of device module. The only solution to fix it is to actually kill the service:<br>
killall -9 NetworkManager && /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start<br><br>Sorry for the lack of technical logs, this bug frustrated me to the point by which I simply purged the packages (network-manager and network-manager-kde). Fortunately, this bug is always reproducible for me across very diverse environments: a desktop using the forcedeth module for ethernet, a compaq presario 1500 laptop (uses intel modules), and a really old dell latitude ls series.<br>
<br>To reproduce, set network-manager to run on the runlevel that X would be on and reboot with an rj45 connection hot to a simple home router (netgear, linksys, d-link, the usual).<br><br>--- System information. ---<br>Architecture: i386<br>
