Thank you for your bug report, that indeed seems an issue

What apport does is provide a 'attach_wifi' that includes
" report['WifiSyslog'] = recent_syslog(re.compile(r'(NetworkManager|modem-manager|dhclient|kernel|wpa_supplicant)(\[\d+\])?:'))"

Some though
- the n-m stack should probably not include those info in syslog/journal by default
- the apport hook should anonymize the log in that such info are there
- firefox/tb uses that function, maybe that's not needed?
