Description Tomislav Vujec 2009-04-01 22:33:18 UTC
Please describe the problem:
While it is entirely possible to disable log spew from NetworkManager by re-configuring syslog, its treatment of the log levels is completely arbitrary. I prepared a patch to move most of the info messages to debug level, and left (or added) only a few, signaling daemon startup and shutdown, as well as up and down events on the network and vpn devices.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Going to dupe to 564986 since that's the real fix; we do need better log levels, or better yet we need 'zones' plus log levels, so you could for example turn on wifi debugging but leave eth debugging off.
