I can confirm this on my Dell Vostro 1500. Some things happen: *I can't use sudo *I can't start most programs (e.g. gnome-terminal refuses to run, but say gnome calculator works). If the program is already running, it seems to be fine. *The hardware wifi killswitch does absolutely nothing. If the wireless card was on, it doesn't turn off the card, even though it normally does. *NM still reports a connection, but says the connection quality is 0%.
If it helps, I'm also running the NVidia binary driver.
