This backtrace is useless.
Please install network-manager-dbg and run NetworkManager in gdb.

Also, you have a very strange mix of
stable/testing/unstable/experimental packages.
This makes it even harder to debug this problem.

Could you try and setup a clean unstable system (with only nm from
experimental) and try to reproduce the problem there.


Thanks

Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the
universe are pointed away from Earth?
