Segfault

[David Richfield <davidrichfield gmail com>]

Hi,

I'm running NetworkManager Applet 0.7.996 (stock standard Ubuntu
Karmic version).

I've got a new USB wifi dongle that I'm using to connect my laptop to
my ADSL router.  Today it went down for no apparent reason, and when I
looked in /var/log/syslog, I found this line:

Apr  4 08:05:15 davelaptop kernel: [  757.375313] nm-applet[2022]:
segfault at 64 ip 0806d850 sp bfbaa3d0 error 4 in
nm-applet[8048000+53000]

What can I do to give a good bug report?

Another thing: how do I interpret the log messages?  I can't find a
man page or any useful documentation in
/usr/share/doc/network-manager.  I keep seeing things like:

Apr  4 08:05:15 davelaptop NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan12): device
state change: 8 -> 3 (reason 38)
or
Apr  4 08:05:15 davelaptop NetworkManager: <info>
(00:23:B4:25:E4:39): device state change: 3 -> 1 (reason 36)

Where is a list of what the different states are, and what the reasons mean?

Regards,
