09_fix_bigendian_words.patch in network-manager_0.6.4 is broken. It adds
endianness checks to configure.in and configure, but doesn't add
WORDS_BIGENDIAN define to config.h.in, so the code is still compiled the
same way for little- and big-endian systems. Upstream version 0.6.5
already contains all the fixes, so Gutsy shoudn't be affected by this
bug, only Feisty. As stated above, the workaround is to enter
hexadecimal passphrase generated by wpa_passphrase.

Anyway, as I'm new to Ubuntu, I don't really know how to prepare a
proper fix nor how to rebuild a patched package to test it. I've
attached the fixed patch that should resolve all problems. It's pretty
straightforward, but if you want me to test it first, please let me know
how to rebuild a package or where to find some howto.
