Package: network-manager Version: 0.8.1-2+b1 Severity: normal
Some laptops, like my Lenovo, have a physical RF kill switch. It is a nice feature on a plane etc, but network-manager cannot handle its use. If I switch off the wireless from the physical switch, and then back on, nm is sometimes unable to re-establish the (system) connection. It does not happen on each switch, but once it happens, it keeps on happening until nm is restarted. All I get is two lines in syslog: NetworkManager[24082]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: starting -> ready NetworkManager[24082]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 2 -> 3 (reason 42) Restarting network-manager solves the problem, but that is ridiculous since the whole point of using nm in the first place is to remove the necessity to have root access to reconfigure networks. (This particular connection needs to be system connection, though.)
