I'm using networkmanager 0.6.6-1 and other up to date packages with KDEmod3 with Knetworkmanager. Networkmanager daemons will crash on most times when it can't connect to a wifi (in this case - a weak local wifi network). The traceback is save in logs (see attachment).

knetworkmanager is in AUR/unsupported and kdemod3 is unofficial too,
so _if_ the problem is due to those packages...
did you try using another networkmanager frontend?

The trace is from networkmanager itself which shouldn't crash, no matter what the frontend thinks it's doing.

using gnome-network-manager also results with deamon death.

for what it is worth, I can reproduce it.

Though not sure if it is worth spending too much time in as, according to one of the redhat devs working on networkmanager, 0.7 should be released somewhere near the end of this month (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-October/msg00152.html)

Just a heads up on the release schedule of nm 0.7:
nm0.7 rc1 has been released last weekend. rc2 is scheduled for next weekend and the final version for November 15 ( http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-November/msg00067.html ).
