[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#527857: network-manager: Causes system to freeze

[Patrick Wiseman]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

The system periodically freezes while connected to wired network while 
wireless is still enabled (but not connected).  The syslog has lots of 
wlan0 activitiy right before the freeze happens.  Unsure that 
network-manager was at fault, I asked on debian-users, and many 
confirmed.  Apparently, installing wicd corrects - further evidence that 
network-manager is at fault.
