[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#667433: Bug#667433: networkmanager cannot re-enable wifi unless driver is unloaded

[Hans Linkels]

Honestly I am not sure if I am using knetworkmanager. I run KDE 4.6.5 
and there is a network-manager icon in the system tray. It USED to be 
knetworkmanager in KDE 4.4.5. In this installation, I had trouble to 
discover the version of knetworkmanager so it might not be used. I 
wonder what that icon in the system tray represents.

But the problem is not in the GUI so the question is not really 
relevant. nmcli is also capable of enabling/disabling WiFi. nmcli shows 
exactly the same behaviour. When I disable WiFi, it ignores any commands 
to enable back on again. Unless I unload iwlwifi, and then I can enable 
WiFi again using nmcli.
