Oh...

Is it really the same crash? The original stack trace did not have
NM-debugging symbols. Could you please explicitly install the
NetworkManager-debuginfo package that you find on
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=541645 ?



Also, the logfile shows some glib warnings before the actual crash.
  GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gtype.c:4215: type id '115' is invalid
These warnings are probably related and closer to the actual cause.
You can make glib dump core on warnings, by setting the environment
variable:

  G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings

To do this, you have to run NetworkManager not as system service:
  systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
  systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
  export G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings
  ulimit -c unlimited
  gdb /sbin/NetworkManager
  > run --debug

Afterwards, systemctl enable && systemctl start. ... you need to disable
the service, because otherwise it might be DBUS activated by systemd
after you stop it.


Alternatively, I figure you could inject the environment to the running
NM, see http://stackoverflow.com/a/211064 (I did not test that though).




Debug-logging is also useful.
Add

[logging]
level=DEBUG
domains=ALL

to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf


And then, reproduce.

Sure, sorry for being so blunt :)
We are interested in bugs.


Thank you,
