[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#699292: network-manager: not connecting with Xircom RealPort2 CardBus Ethernet 10/100 (R2BE-100)

[Andreas Stempfhuber]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.4.0-8
Severity: important

Hi,

I have newly installed Wheezy and the network manager is not able to connect to
the network using the following Cardbus PCMCIA ethernet card:

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Xircom Cardbus Ethernet 10/100 (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Xircom RealPort2 CardBus Ethernet 10/100 (R2BE-100)
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9
        I/O ports at 2000 [size=128]
        Memory at 18000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
        Memory at 18000800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at 1c000000 [disabled] [size=16K]
        Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
        Kernel driver in use: xircom_cb

The interface worked during the installation and bringing the interface up
manually using

        ifconfig eth0 up; dhclient -v eth0

works as well. Uninstalling network-manager and installing wicd works as well.
Other PCMCIA network cards are working as well.
