[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#527857: network-manager: Latest version still causes system freeze

[Patrick Wiseman]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: normal

The update had seemed to correct the problem, but it recurred this 
evening, this time when connected wirelessly.  The syslog, before the 
freeze, looks like this:

May 12 18:02:34 sage wpa_supplicant[3860]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS

May 12 18:04:33 sage wpa_supplicant[3860]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS 

eth0 is my WIRED connection, and it was not connected, and so there's no 
reason to be seeking a DHCP address.  So, it seems that when the wired 
connection was on, wlan0 was trying to connect (the earlier bug); and 
when the wireless connection is on, eth0 is trying to connect.  Neither 
should be happening.
