Bug Description

After booting no connection to the internet can be established, via cable or wifi. No such problem is found with 3.13.0-031300rc8-generic (mainline) nor with 3.11.0-16-generic (in both cases connection is established both via cable and wifi).

WORKAROUND: WiFi works replacing "quiet splash" by "apparmor=0" in /etc/default/grub .

Hi Volker,

I can perform a kernel bisect to identify the commit that introduced this regression. Please test Tim's suggestion in comment #2 first, then we can bisect based on the results from that test.

@tim @joe

-> replacing "quiet splash" by "apparmor=0" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub (did not find quickly the syntax for "adding a option".....)
-> wifi works

kernel 3.13.0-5.20 (linux-lts-saucy):

same problems as with 3.13.0-4.19 - no wifi
On the other hand, 3.13.0-031300 (mainline) works okay, including wifi.

Workaround for kernel 3.13.0-5.20 : WiFi works after adding "apparmor=0" in /etc/default/grub, doing "sudo update-grub" and rebooting.

in connection with the above problem: 3.11.0-17.30+precise1 does not produce any problems, in particular wifi works.
Test was made with the same system as for 3.13 (ubuntu 12.04 on dell e6500).

as a workaround, I can use 3.13.1-031301-generic from v3.13.1 (trusty) (mainline) which works in 12.04 (dell e6500), including wifi.

wifi still works only when apparmor is de - activated (apparmor=0).
As mentioned above, the corresponding mainline kernel (3.13.1-031301-generic from v3.13.1 (trusty)) works including wifi.

not fixed for me (dell e6500 under 12.04): still the same problem as with previous 3.13 kernel versions:
no wifi, but workaround apparmor=0 still works.

Most recent mainline kernel (3.13.1-031301-generic from v3.13.1 (trusty)) works, including wifi,

Volker - can you attach a 3.13.0-7.26 kernel dmesg from the case when wifi isn't working ? Maybe Apparmor is blocking something else.

To be clear, the issue here is that the trusty kernel implements mitigation of networking and the profiles in precise do not contain support for this. The patches applied allow the backport to be configured without this functionality.
