Chapter 1. Package Updates
Users of NetworkManager should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported
patches to correct these issues.
1.131.2. RHBA-2010:0263: bug fix update
Updated NetworkManager packages that resolve several issues are now available.
NetworkManager is a network link manager that attempts to keep a wired or wireless network
connection active at all times.
These updated NetworkManager packages provide fixes for the following bugs:
* creating a new wired connection which uses 802.1x security and then attempting to use that
connection during the same desktop session resulted in NetworkManager being unable to establish
that connection. As a workaround, logging out of the current desktop session and logging back in
allowed the secure connection to be used. With this update, wired connections using 802.1x security
can be used as soon as they are created.
* due to a coding error, NetworkManager rejected WPA passkeys of exactly 63 ASCII characters
in length, even though such a passkey is valid according to the standard. This was caused by a
coding error which has been fixed in this update, thus correctly permitting 63-character passkeys.

)
* NetworkManager failed to initialize certain Option NV mobile broadband (3G) devices. Much-
improved support has been added for newer mobile broadband devices manufactured by Option NV,
such as AT&T Quicksilver modems.
All users of NetworkManager are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these
issues.
