Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I'm not really sure if this is a duplicate, because it's not clear to me
is this the same type of crash as the others I've seen reported. I've
used Apport to upload data on this when it happened.
It happens on a Lenovo ThinPad R61i laptop.
What happens is that it crashes from time to time, for no apparent
reason, and it stops managing networks. Interfaces not in dire need of
management like the ETH0 continue to work unmanaged, but wireless stops
working. Restarting the NetworkManager daemon usually solves the
problem, however sometimes the wireless adapter stays down, and I'm
unable to bring it back up (tried turning on and off by wlan-killswitch,
putting the laptop to standby etc.)
Now, I'm not really sure if this is problem with NM bringing down the
wlan interface or is it vice versa... It is possible that a faulty
driver causes this. However, I've encountered similar problems several
Ubuntu versions back, and on a different laptop, so I guess there might
be something wrong with the NM.
When NM alone crashes, it's not a problem for me, I just restart the
daemon. It might be a problem though, for many ordinary users have no
clue what happened, let alone knowing how to restart the daemon...
When the wlan interface goes down together with it, it does become an
annoying problem, because I've found no way to bring it up again other
then rebooting.
Kind Regards,
Arny
