Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
A recent Jaunty apt-get update broke my xorg driver, requiring me to
apt-get install a package from a VT. But without gnome running, my
wireless interfaces don't get set up, so I can't see the network.
Even if I manually iwconfig eth0 essid "mynetwork", to my totally open
and unencrypted wifi network, the interface never seems to pick it up.
(This always worked before the era of network-manager).
Being logged into GNOME shouldn't be a prerequisite for a working
network.
