Reading http://bugs.debian.org/460691 , It seems that the maintainer decided that network-manager(-gnome) and gnome-network-admin should conflict because they do opposite thing. > In today's update, gnome-network-admin conflicts with > network-manager-gnome, which is therefore deleted, making > network-manager and a few other things no longer needed.

I can hold gnome-system-tools as well and keep > network manager, which I guess is what I'll do for now. I have removed network-manager-gnome* but not network-manager. My wired network is still working (but I can't switch to wireless, etc...) I'll reinstall network-manager-gnome as soon as I can. *) make sure you get the .deb files before uninstalling the package, just in case you want to reinstall it;) > I guess the question is why gnome-network-admin conflicts with > network-manager-gnome in the first place, as it hasn't before.
