RHBA-2017:2925 - NetworkManager bug fix update
Synopsis
NetworkManager bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory None
Topic
Updated NetworkManager packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
NetworkManager is a system network service that manages network devices and connections, attempting to keep active network connectivity when available. Its capabilities include managing Ethernet, wireless, mobile broadband (WWAN), and PPPoE devices, as well as providing VPN integration with a variety of different VPN services.
This update fixes the following bugs:
-
Previously, the NetworkManager service set by default the MAC address of a master device (bond, bridge, team) to a random value generated by the kernel. As a consequence, the MAC address of the device changed every time the device was activated. The bug has been fixed and now NetworkManager no longer changes the MAC address of a master device by default. Instead, the interface inherits the Mac address from one of its slaves. (BZ#1490741)
-
Previously, when an Infiniband device was disconnected, the kernel in some cases reported a problem that the interface was removed. As a consequence, the NetworkManager's internal state of this device became corrupted. This bug has been fixed, and the NetworkManager service works as expected to provide consistent information about the state of the device. (BZ#1499282)
-
Due to a bug in the NetworkManager service, the activation process was considered for devices not currently activated. As a consequence, the NetworkManager-wait-online service timed out leading to wait longer than necessary at boot time. This bug has been fixed, and the NetworkManager-wait-online service does not delay the start of the system more than necessary. (BZ#1499283)
Users of NetworkManager are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
