This is all well and good. But to me the main problem is that "network-manager" is not using invoke-rc.d well enough. If invoke-rc.d won't start the service then I think that we should not be restarting the dbus services. Enclosed is a patch to "network-manager" which fixes this. I am not sure who could test and apply this patch. I have tested it on my system and it works. Maybe Alexander Sack can apply the patch. John
