[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#654544: network-manager: does not recognize wmx0 (Intel WiMAX) on Linux 3.2-rc7

[brian m. carlson]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.2.0-1
Severity: normal

network-manager does not recognize wmx0 (the WiMAX portion of my Intel
6250) under Linux 3.2-rc7.  The module and firmware are loaded and the
device is present when using ifconfig -a.  I've looked at the logs and
network-manager does not enumerate it when it looks for devices at start
up.  However, under Linux 3.1 it did, in fact, enumerate it, although I
do not know if it ended up being usable or not.

The sysfs path that network-manager used for wmx0 under Linux 3.1 is
still present and wmx0 is still listed under /sys/class/net.

If you need more information, please let me know.
