Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.3.999-1
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze
After an upgrade, Network Manager is now unable to handle my wireless network.
It displays "Wireless is disabled". Downgrading to the version from stable
fixes the issue. The following sequence of commands works:
- sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
- sudo iwlist scanning
And the list of networks appears, which makes me think that the problem comes
from NetworkManager.
I initially thought this was #544217 but I just upgraded my BIOS and all my
packages are up-to-date (I'm running testing). Plus, #544217 is kinda old and
rfkill is reporting correct values (i.e not blocked). I read in some other bug
report that changing the value of managed= in /etc/NetworkManager/ would fix
the issue, but it didn't help either.
I can investigate more if you tell me what you'd like to see. In the meanwhile,
I'm going to downgrade again :-).

Alright.
If you can reliably reproduce the issue again, we can reopen the bugreport.
In that case, please save the state file before and after the upgrade.
Cheers,
