Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Gutsy 64-bit Tribe-5 + updates to 16th September, 2007. Recent updates (from /root/.

NetworkManager: 0x00002b3af925bc7f in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread
On startup NetworkManager consistently fails, leaving NetworkManagerD
The issue appears to be related to NM connecting to the WPA 802.11g WAP. Starting NetworkManager manually doesn't have the problem, so possibly a timing issue with wpa_supplicant?

On a hunch I uninstalled VMware- server- 1.0.3-44356 because I noticed it was reporting a bridge attached to eth1, which is the WiFi interface.
After the first restart NetworkManager doesn't show this failure. I'll continue to check on this after each restart and update the bug status as appropriate.
