Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.1-6
Severity: serious
I just upgraded network-manager from 0.8.1-3 to 0.8.1-6 on a squeeze
system. Before the upgrade, I was able to manage my wlan0 interface as a
normal user in group "netdev". After the upgrade, n-m insisted the the
device was "unmanaged".
Apparently, the upgrade modified my /etc/network/interfaces to insert
the line
#NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp
after "allow-hotplug eth0". It did not, however, insert a corresponding
line after "allow-hotplug wlan0". (Incidentally, I don't quite see why
n-m's maintainer scripts have any business writing to this file
unprompted.) I was able to resolve the issue by setting "managed=true"
in the [ifupdown] section of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.
I consider this bug serious because it deprives systems which previously
had network connectivity of such connectivity and is nontrivial to fix
for common users.
