[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#525181: network-manager: simply doesn't work for WLAN

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-1
Together with plasma-widget-networkmanagement 0.1~svn951801-1 on an Acer
Aspire One (ath5k, and the acer_wmi module.) The pci hotplug stuff (needed
for one of the SD card slots) is *not* loaded, though. Not that this makes
a difference. Kernel is 2.6.29-1-686 (package version 2.6.29-3).
After I couldn't connect to WLAN (wired works), I restarted network-manager:

Still no luck. "iwlist wlan0 scan" works, and after putting the
configuraiton into /etc/network/interfaces, "ifup wlan0" just works as well.
And no, I didn't touch the wlan switch in between. Honest.
