[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu.tl@xxxxxxxxx>]

The agent should usually be nm-applet, or the gnome-shell equivalent.
There's no real need for gnome-keyring anymore, especially with new
connections being system-wide by default (and thus not even needing an
agent), unless you set them as not system-wide yourself.

The backtrace could actually tell us a bit more about what NM is trying
to achieve, but it's missing big chunks. Could you make sure you have
network-manager-gnome-dbgsym or libnm-gtk0-dbgsym installed before you
try to reproduce it again?

What seems weird to me is that there normally shouldn't be such cases
where (have_ap) doesn't exist; since it *has* to be passed by whatever
is trying to know about valid security protocols
(nm_utils_security_valid checks whether WPA, WPA2, WEP, etc. are
supported by your hardware).

Maybe there's some other bug you're running into that could explain
this?

Title:
  Dies connecting to wireless with ERROR:nm-
  utils.c:1231:nm_utils_security_valid: assertion failed: (have_ap)

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is a laptop where I've previously connected to another wireless
  network (over a different router of the same model) successfully.

  Now with a different router operating in another broadband connection,
  when I try to connect to the wifi it provides, nm-applet disappears
  from indicator area. If I run it from the command-line it outputs
  this:

  jani@amilo:~$ nm-applet 
  Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
  ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
  ** Message: No keyring secrets found for ElisaKoti48/802-11-wireless-security; asking user.
  **
  ERROR:nm-utils.c:1231:nm_utils_security_valid: assertion failed: (have_ap)
  Aborted

  Note that it doesn't actually ask me for the key but apparently fails
  when trying to do so. With the previous wireless network I was in, the
  key *was* requested, and the file describing that connection is still
  in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/.

  After doing the above once, there's also a definition for the non-
  functioning connection in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/, and
  all subsequent tries to start nm-applet immediately end in the error
  and the applet vanishing. If I delete the definition it has created
  for this non-functioning connection, the applet does appear again, but
  again when I try to connect to this network, it dies and won't come
  back until I rm the definition file.
