[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#571331: [network-manager] stale state file disables networking (after suspend)

[Rutger ter Borg]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Hello, I see there are numerous bugs covering suspend, but this one seems to 
be more generic. Apparently (due to battery loss) the state file in 
/var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state contained the text

NetworkingEnabled=false

which caused the network to remain in a disabled state. This didn't change 
over reboot, and also isn't changeable from recent docked GUI-tools such as 
KDE's control module for network-manager (which just showed "networking 
disabled").

To remedy the problem, I just deleted the stale state file and rebooted.

Kind regards,

Rutger
