Same problem here, but only if I try to establish a wwan connection using the modem-broadband. For me eifi and wired connection are not afflicted.

The last working package version is: networkmanager-1.8rc3+10+gddd6f94ab-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I am affected too. Happens when I try to connect to a BT tethering connection.

This is happening to me too when I try to connect using my wwan card

I've confirmed this issue as well on two x86_64 laptops and an ARM device

Disableing IPv6 support on the WWAN interface fixes the problem for me.

They reworked IPv6 capturing support from 1.8-rc3 to 1.8.0, I haven't found out what exactly broke.

I did a little digging today, and found this broke in commit a65e102472bf934ba816da97e2592a36b4c3c335, shortly before 1.8.0, but has been fixed in the 1.8 branch with 390cfec7929c215f662260d3bffbf9e3198f0602. Since 1.8.1 hasn't been released with the fix yet, here's a patch backporting the fix to 1.8.0. I've rebuilt the package locally with this patch, and it has resolved the segfault issues for me.
