My pc uses wireless network card (usb interface) , and it was brought up in
the /etc/network/interfaces. After reporting this bug, I tried comment out
the setting in /etc/network/interfaces like below:
# The primary network interface
# allow-hotplug wlan0
# iface wlan0 inet dhcp
# wireless-* options are implemented by the wireless-tools package
# wireless-mode managed
# wireless-essid mynetwork
# wireless-key1 s:mypasswd
and began to use gnome network manager, strangely the pidgin can connect to
the msn now.
I don't know why.
