Package: hal-info Version: 20071212-1 Severity: grave After the last upgrade of hal-info, network manager fails to find any network device only reporting the error message mentioned in the subject ("no network device has been found") when clicking on the ex nm-applet icon. (Note that this happens even with the network device not being mentioned in /etc/network/interfaces as required by network-manager.)
Downgrading hal-info to the testing version (20071030-1) fixes the problem. I presume (though I haven't checked) that for finding the network interfaces which are not listed in /etc/network/interfaces to be managed, network manager does some lookup via hal, which fails due to some hal-info breakage. Hence, I think that the other way of using network-manager via /etc/network/interfaces suggested in /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian (namely, to list the desired interfaces as "auto" and with "dhcp") works, but I haven't tried that. My (wireless) network card is an Intel as described below by lspci: 06:05.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 2702 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (750ns min, 6000ns max), Cache Line Size: 32 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 20 Region 0: Memory at b0204000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: <access denied> and works properly (without network-manager / hal) with the ipw2200 kernel module. Severity grave since I bet other people with the same Intel card will have a network shortage upon installing the current package version.
