[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#570170: network-manager is not able to connect to any wireless network

[Michal Hocko]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.999-2
Severity: normal

The problem appeared during the update from 0.7.2-2 -> 0.7.999-2.
Network got disconnected during setting up of the new version and I was
not able to connect to any wireless network anymore since then.

I can still connect to the same network manually by iwconfig.

I have also tried to update to unstable but I wasn't able to connect as
well. I don't have logs at hands but I can verify if someone is interested.

Final note. I am using my own compiled kernel but the same happens with
debian kernel as well.
