Description Dan Winship 2014-03-27 14:52:23 UTC 
we can't fix libnm-util and libnm-glib to use GInitable without an ABI break, but we can at least fix all of the places in src/ where we sometimes return NULL from constructor:

src/devices/nm-device.c
src/devices/adsl/nm-device-adsl.c
src/devices/nm-device-olpc-mesh.c
src/devices/nm-device-wifi.c
src/devices/wwan/nm-modem.c
src/settings/plugins/ifupdown/nm-ifupdown-connection.c

(or where we use constructor() but could be using constructed() instead:

src/devices/nm-device-ethernet.c
src/devices/nm-device-infiniband.c
src/devices/wwan/nm-modem-old.c
src/ppp-manager/nm-ppp-manager.c

)

bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. 
We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
