Public bug reported:
When ubuntu-bug is trying to collect info about a bug in the kernel, getting
network information fails, with the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apport/report.py", line 663, in
add_hooks_info
symb['add_info'](self, ui)
File "/usr/share/apport/package-hooks//source_linux-meta.py", line 44, in

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/problem_report.py", line 513, in
__setitem__
and (hasattr(v[0], 'isalnum') or hasattr(v[0], 'read'))))
AssertionError
This is when the MAC Address is changed, Fluxbox, gnome-settings-daemon,
nm-applet are running and NetworkManager is connected to a WiFi network
on wlan0 . It is on a MSI Wind U100 running ubuntu 11.10.
What I expected to happen: Apport to successfully collect my network connection
data
What happened: Apport failed to collect it, with the error above, meaning that
I couldn't report a Kernel bug.
Extra notes: This ONLY happened with the kernel, when reporting this bug it
DIDN'T OCCUR. It affects the programs (at least) ubuntu-bug and apport-collect.
