[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#540613: confirm bug on Debian unstable

[Riccardo Murri]

I can confirm this bug -- it appeared during my last "all packages"
upgrade from unstable a couple of days ago.

It only affects wireless (wlan0; kernel driver b43) and only through
NetworkManager: "ifup wlan0" works if I write the correct stanza in
/etc/network/interfaces.

Downgrading to hal_0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2_powerpc.deb (from
0.5.13-3) solved the issue instantly.

To me, this looks very much like: http://bugs.gentoo.org/279104

Best regards,
Riccardo
