Hi Peter, do you still experience the bug with an up-to-date version of knetworkmanager (1:0.2~svn678822-3) and network-manager (0.6.4-8+b1)? As you asked: No, wpa_supplicant should *not* be configured manually when you use network-manager/knetworkmanager, as network-manager starts and controls it's own instance of wpa_supplicant. If you have two instances of wpa_supplicant running which try to access the same network interface, this can only lead to chaos.
