[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#509006: network-manager: Loses wired connection upon upgrade (from 0.6.6-2+b1 to 0.7.0~svn4191-1)

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.0~svn4191-1
Severity: important

(It may deserve a higher severity, but oh well, that's experimental, and
“dhclient eth0 did the trick.)

Hello,

after upgrading from 0.6.6-2+b1 to 0.7.0~svn4191-1, I lost wired
connection. Upon “network-manager restart” I get:
,--[ daemon.log ]--

And nm-applet reports the wired network is unsupported.

Let me know if I can send you more input, or test other versions (source
packages are OK).

Cheers,
