[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#524691: sporadically fails to detect that a wireless interface is already UP

[Anton Ivanov]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-3
Severity: normal


>From time to time fails to detect that DHCP has successfully returned an ip
address when connecting to a wireless network. Progress bar in KDE sits
at about halfway, no address is shown in the system tray. However,
address is actually obtained correctly, can be seen using /sbin/ifconfig
and apps can connect. After 20-30 seconds in this state drops the interface.

Happens from time to time with two different laptops (both running Lenny).
