Ok, took a bit longer than expected. I'm awaiting libnl1-pre8 (which has
become a dependency of NM 0.7) to enter unstable RSN (currently in NEW).
After that I can proceed with an 0.7 upload to unstable.
In between NM 0.7 has become sufficiently stable.
Things still missing, are Debian support for the system-settings daemon
(which allows to provide NM with configuration data like WPA keys
without a running X desktop session) and the GUI tools to setup static
configuration (like IP, DNS). This is still to come.

Stay tuned,
Michael
