Thanks for the patch. Network-manager works fine. After patching
initscript and invoke-rc.d dbus restart it has kept my network
connection active, logged something about unavailable dbusd and
reconnected, when dbus reappeared. Everything continued to work
correctly (I selected in knetworkmanager to reconnect to wifi, nm
received request and proceeded).

I don't have powersaved installed, so I haven't tested it.

Cheers, Jarek.
