[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#522189: network-manager displays all wireless networks twice

[Patrick Schoenfeld]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.0.99-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

since todays upgrade my network-manager shows all wlans twice.
It looks like this:

Wired network:
[x] Ifupdown (eth0)
Wireless networks (Intel Lenovo ThinkPad T61):
[ ] WLAN
[ ] ...
Wireless networks (Intel Lenovo ThinkPad T61):
[ ] WLAN
[ ] ...

I assume that this has something to do with the fact that
the driver of my WLAN chip creates two interfaces:

psc at lisa ~ % sudo ip link|grep 'w'
3: wmaster0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc ieee80211 state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
4: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000

This is similar to the atheros drivers, with its master interface.
Only one is directly configured, so there is no need to show the WLANs
for both of them.

Additional there is a minor cosmetic problem:
"Intel Lenovo ThinkPad T61" is not the description of my WiFi interface,
but the name of a notebook, which I don't own. My notebook is an
R61 with a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965.
Its probably worth to split this into another bug on its own. Feel
freel to do so, if you want.

Best Regards,
Patrick
