Bug 12861

If I try to disconnect my WIFI network using net-applet, the program crashes. It seems that there is an error trying to load a file with the same name of the WIFI network.:!

Priority: Normal => High
Severity: normal => major

I think that the whole draknetcenter should be redesigned because it has several bugs..

So I am just providing a work-around for this bug so that the members in charge take action:

Modify the file /usr/lib/libDrakX/network/connection_manager.pm

delete line 275 and add the following lines instead:

if ($_)
{
  my $event_connection = find { $_->get_interface eq $interface } @$connections;
}
else 
{
  my $event_connection = $_;
}


This should do for the moment..

But be aware that there are several other bugs to eliminate..

Thank you.

Valid for cauldron, too

Some line numbers differ there:

 Can't locate object method "get_interface" via package "UPC WifiSpots" (perhaps you forgot to load "UPC WifiSpots"?) at /usr/lib/libDrakX/network/connection_manager.pm line 275.

add debug instrumentation

Can you try the attached patch?
cd /usr/lib/libDrakX; patch -p2 < /where/it/is/dbg-12861.diff


Then kill net_applet & start it from a terminal:
net_applet 2>&1 |tee /tmp/RES.txt

then attach (not paste) the resulting /tmp/RES.txt file

Marja, can you still reproduce this one?
I cannot.

I can't in current cauldron. I suppose that's where you tried, too, so it still needs to be checked in Mageia 4.

Version: Cauldron => 4
Whiteboard: MGA4TOO => (none)

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't 
able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and 
change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, 
select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].

I am not using MCC for networking anymore, so can anyone test this?

This is related to \0x00... sequence hidden networks as far as I can see.
