I'm getting this too.

It's reported on the Ubuntu launchpad bugtracker [1] that this issue was resolved upstream on 4/5/2012 by this commit [2].

Same here, when will the fix be propagated to Arch's pacman ?

can you confirm that is fixing your problem if you apply the fix from [2] ?

I can't since I wasn't patient enough.
I solved my problem by installing AUR's networkmanager-git. The issue was resolved upstream for sure, since it works properly now.
I'd still like an updated version in the repo instead of keeping on with this git build.

i'm waiting your answer.

That I did, yes bug is fixed. Now please update networkmanager in the repo.

got this effect today on the fresh install (core system + mc + networkmanager).

networkmanager 0.9.4.0-6
dbus-core 1.6.0-4

(still have not tried networkmanager-git).

Hi,

I applied the patch from [1] to this nm package. Nmcli now works as expected.

There is going to be a new release soon since there is an RC2 out, so hopefully it will ship the fix.
