[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#436076: network-manager: IPW3945 doesn't complete network connection (remains always at 20%)

[Marcello Maggioni]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.4-7
Severity: important

As the subject says on my Dell Inspiron 9400 with an IPW3945 card I can't use network-manager because
the connection stalls at 20% until you don't terminate connections. 
If I switch on the "kill switch" and then off I'm able to connect once, but if I try again (disconnecting and reconnecting) the problem is back again.
network-manager sees my wireless network, but can't connect.
