Bug Description
On one of my wireless networks, knetworkmanager will occasionally disconnect. When it tries to reconnect it displays the network secrets dialog and will not reconnect until I reboot the machine. The problem also happens if I put the machine to sleep and wakeup.
Also, plasma becomes very unresponsive after this event making it hard to logout. I did eventually get it to log out and back in and that doesn't fix the problem; it has to be rebooted. I've also tried killing and restarting knetworkmanager and /etc/networking without success.
I'm up to having to reboot my laptop twice a day and can't put it to sleep. Ug. :(

Follow up: problem in 5100 ABGN driver. Kind of sucks that I takes down plasma though.

I can't find it again, of course, but I did find a post that suggested installing the edge drivers would fix the problem.
sudo apt-get install linux-backports -modules- karmic
...and viola! All is well once more and the penquin is happy. (Don't taunt the penquin!)
