[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#501004: ThinkPad X200 wifi device not properly detected

[Daniel Svensson]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.11-3

The wireless device seems to have started working with 2.6.27-rc7 that
I installed from the Debian Kernel Teams snapshot apt source. It's a
Intel 5300AGN.

$ iwconfig wlan0 essid any
$ iwconfig wlan0

So the card seems to be working.. however it's not properly detected
as a wireless device by Network Manager, which led me to #hal at
irc.freenode.net where sjoerd told me to file this bug report.
