Ethernet connection doesn't fail on supplicant timeout if no secrets are required
Last modified: 2018-04-12 12:37:57 UTC
An Ethernet connection attempt that encountered a supplicant timeout is stuck in the needs-auth state even if no secrets are required (*-flags variables are all set to 4). Log: <warn> device (xxx): Activation: (ethernet) association took too long. <info> device (xxx): state change: config -> need-auth (reason 'none', internal state 'managed') <info> device (xxx): Cleared secrets, but setting didn't need any secrets. <warn> device (xxx): Activation: (ethernet) asking for new secrets Here is a pull request to fix the issue: https://github.com/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/pull/92
With the fix applied I'm getting this log: <warn> device (xxx): Activation: (ethernet) association took too long. <info> device (xxx): state change: config -> need-auth (reason 'none', internal state 'managed') <info> device (xxx): Cleared secrets, but setting didn't need any secrets. <info> device (xxx): state change: need-auth -> failed (reason 'no-secrets', internal state 'managed') <warn> device (xxx): Activation: failed for connection 'xxx' <info> device (xxx): state change: failed -> disconnected (reason 'none', internal state 'managed')

(btw, as far as I am concerned, you don't have to open a bugzilla entry together with the bugzilla request. You could also comment relevant information on github. But as you prefer...).
Thanks! :-D
