Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-1
Together with plasma-widget-networkmanagement 0.1~svn951801-1 on an Acer
Aspire One (ath5k, and the acer_wmi module.) The pci hotplug stuff (needed
for one of the SD card slots) is *not* loaded, though. Not that this makes
a difference. Kernel is 2.6.29-1-686 (package version 2.6.29-3).
After I couldn't connect to WLAN (wired works), I restarted network-manager:

Still no luck. "iwlist wlan0 scan" works, and after putting the
configuraiton into /etc/network/interfaces, "ifup wlan0" just works as well.
And no, I didn't touch the wlan switch in between. Honest.

Arrgh!
I was wasting your time. Mea culpa.
On Saturday 25 April 2009 12.26:29 you wrote:

Ok, it seems that "alias acer_wmi off" in /etc/modprobe.d/somefile is not
enough to inhibit the module being loaded. Passing an unknown option to it
works, though.
When the machine is booted without this module, WLAN works.
(And my Google skillz lack. I tried installing gnome-icon-theme and I tried
copying the icons into some other icon themes, but I failed to find your
hint about deleting the theme icon cache. So nm-applet could start, too,
but worked the same as the KDE widget.)
Ok, I guess I'll need to wait for kenrel 2.6.30 and/or take this up with the
kernel people. :-(
Thanks for your patience & sorry about the mess.
cheers
