[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#504361: network-manager: USB network device confused network manager

[Josh Triplett]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: normal

I plugged in a USB network device (a Nokia N800).  NetworkManager
promptly disconnected my wireless network.  I clicked on the nm-applet
icon and told it to reconnect to my wireless network.  It chewed on
that for a long time, and finally told me "Connected to the wired
network 'my wireless ESSID'", with the nm-applet confirming that
NetworkManager thinks it has a wired network connection.
