Hi, please disregard my previous email (see below) as it is a known and fixed (in experimental) bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=567473
Also, the WLAN access works under Gnome. Robin ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Problem with network-manager and wireless-tools Date: Sunday 14 February 2010 From: Robin Haunschild <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Dear Maintainers of the package network-manager, first of all thanks for this great applications which used to work fine on my 64 Bit Intel Core 2 Duo with Debian/testing. I am (was) using network-manager with KDE 4.3.4. On 02/07/2010 I did an upgrade via aptitude safe-upgrade. The following packages were upgraded: devicekit-power empathy empathy-doc libdatetime-timezone-perl libdevkit- power-gobject1 libempathy-common libempathy-gtk-common libempathy-gtk28 libempathy30 libnm-util1 libpci3 libsqlite3-0 libvoikko1 liferea liferea-data module-init-tools network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-openvpn network- manager-vpnc pciutils python-opengl python-reportbug python2.5 python2.5-dev python2.5-minimal reportbug The following new packages were installed: freedesktop-sound-theme{a} gnome-session-canberra{a} libnm-glib-vpn1{a} libnm-glib2{a} mobile-broadband-provider-info{a} modemmanager{a} All packages came from http://ftp.us.debian.org squeeze/main After this upgrade network manager stopped to work as usual. It is still starts and can detect wireless networks but it can not use them. I can click on any network, but nothing happens. Actually, I don't know if the network- manager package is the cause: If I set the essid of an existing WLAN manually (e.g. iwconfig wlan0 essid "Rice Visitor") iwconfig | grep wlan0 looks strange: wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"g\xC6isQ\xFFJ\xEC)\xCD\xBA\xAB\xF2\xFB\xE3F| \xC2T\xF8\x1B\xE8\xE7\x8DvZ.c3\x9F\xC9\x9A" Setting an essid of a non-existing network (iwconfig wlan0 essid "TEST") works: # iwconfig | grep "wlan0" lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. pan0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"Test" When I am out of reach of the WLAN "Rice Visitor" I can also set its essid and it is shown properly by iwconfig. Relevant versions: wireless-tools: 30~pre9-4 network-manager: 0.7.999-2 network-manager-kde: 1:0.7~~svn941706-2 My sources.list contains the lines: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lenny non-free I also tried to reinstall network-manager-kde and network-manager but this did not help. I don't know against which package I should file a bug report. Thanks for any advice.

Would you recommend to wait until the new version drops into testing or fetch network-manager-kde from experimental?
