Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: important
I have a mobile broadband connection configured with the network-manager applet.
Connecting from the applet kills my keyboard and mouse completely (I have to force a power off and reboot)
This happens every time, on two laptops. On one laptop I get kerneloops messages sometimes.
Connecting with the old gnome-ppp causes no problems.
It happens both when there is a roaming wireless connection, and when there is nno wireless connection
steps to replicate:
boot laptop.
click on the applet icon, choose the broadband connection and connect
About five seconds later, as the connection tries to establish, mouse and keyboad die. The connection icon continue to animate as if it is trying to establish a connection. A connection is never established.
When did this start happening? I can't be very specfic, sorry. It was working a couple of weeks ago.
It happens with kernel 2.6.29-2 and 2.6.29-1
