[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#570170: wait_for_connection_expired(): Connection (2) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/2 failed to activate (timeout): (0) Connection was not provided by any settings service

[Hynek Vychodil]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.999-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After routine upgrade knetworkmanger is unable to connect to wireless.
I'm usin KDE3 network manager (knetwork manager was not upgraded) and
tray icons remain gray and applet silently ignores any attempt to connect
to wireless. Only relevant information I found in logs is

NetworkManager: <WARN>  wait_for_connection_expired(): Connection (2) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/2 failed to activate (timeout): (0) Connection was not provided by any settings service

But without any success. I always found more and more same messages in log
and network manager silently ignores any attempt to connect.

Please, can you provide me some workaround because I need use mine notebook
for work and without wireless it is pain in ass. I neither can find
network-manager 0.7.2-2 and dbus 1.2.16-2 packages on archives to revert this
upgrade.
