Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.4-8+b1
Severity: important
this is related to #432322 I suppose.
When you are removing network-manager, the postrm should
not deactivate your network connections, since the system
administrator has indicated (by removing n-m) that he/she
no longer wishes it to manage the network. Alternatively I
suppose kicking invoke-rc.d networking restart or ifupping
the interfaces n-m /was/ managing would be wise. But as it
stands, removing n-m can drop your machine from the network.
(As it happens, I didn't explicitly ask for n-m to be
removed either, I presume some dependency changed somewhere
and it was marked as automatic by aptitude, so the machine
dropping off the network came as a bit of a surprise).

Hi,
for ethernet type connections (both dhcp and static ip), NM will no longer tear
down the connection on stop and can seamlessly pick up the connection again on
(re)start.
For wireless connections this is not easily possible, as this relies on
wpasupplicant.
Cheers,
Michael
