---------------
network-manager-applet (0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5.1) saucy-proposed; urgency=low
* debian/patches/lp330608_dxteam_gsm_connect_text.patch: refresh patch:
remove some additional g_free() calls that were being made on a const
string for a NM internal pointer containing the connection ID, which should
not be freed. Thanks to Jean-Pierre Rupp for the fix. (LP: #1185330)

Title:
nm-applet crashes when switching between devices
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “network-manager-applet” source package in Raring:
Fix Committed
Status in “network-manager-applet” source package in Saucy:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
Users of broadband (ModemManager1, new version of ModemManager), Bluetooth
PAN, CDMA devices, and other such connection methods.
[Test Case]
1. Restart NetworkManager while an affected device is present and/or
connected:
sudo restart network-manager
Alternate test case:
1. Switch between devices: disconnect wifi and connect a CDMA dongle to the
mobile network, or vice versa.
Without the fix, nm-applet should crash. With the fix, there should be
no crash.
[Regression Potential]
Since this changes the memory management of some pointers in
nm-applet/network-manager code, there is a potential to introduce a memory leak
if this code is left in place while other parts of the patch (such as how the
connection ID string is built) is changed. Otherwise, since this was attempting
an action which was obviously wrong, the potential for regressions is quite low.

1. network manager crashes while switching between wifi to reliance dongle
and vice a versa
i also experienced the same in wifi to lan wired connection
the network manager icon in top right corner vanishes and the network manager
starts behaving weirdly
2. i have configured reliance dongle and given it a name reliance connection 1
when i first insert the dongle and it gets detected it shows proper name of
the available connection in network manager drop down list
then when i disconnect the network and join wifi and then again disconnect
wifi and come back to reliance network it shows weird names or no title in the
drop down list
