Description Florian Echtler 2011-10-27 09:47:16 UTC 
When trying to join a wireless network secured with WPA Enterprise (802.1x TLS ), the network-manager process crashes. 

Problem occurs with network-manager 0.9.1.90.

Relevant lines from syslog:

Oct 27 10:30:11 colorado modem-manager[4065]: <info> Caught signal 15, shutting down...
Oct 27 10:30:11 colorado kernel: [96323.598146] init: network-manager main process (4067) killed by ABRT signal
Oct 27 10:30:11 colorado kernel: [96323.598215] init: network-manager main process ended, respawning

Oct 27 10:30:11 colorado NetworkManager[5619]: <info> NetworkManager (version 0.9.1.90) is starting...

The same problem also occurs when trying to create the network in the "Edit Connections..." panel.

Problem is in src/settings/plugins/keyfile/writer.c:667 cert_writer(...)

Please see attached patch for fix.

Also reported on Ubuntu Bugzilla: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/882432

Note: bug is not caused by Ubuntu patches, but by upstream code.
