[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#444695: network-manager: Can't connect to wireless networks: Error getting killswitch power: Access type not supported

[Goncalo Marrafa]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.5-2
Severity: important


Everytime network-manager tries to connect to a wireless network i get a log
of:

NetworkManager: <info>  Error getting killswitch power:
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.NotSupported - Access type not
supported

in syslog and nm just sits there and doen't connect.

My wireless card is an Intel 3945 on a Dell Latitude D620.
