Binary package hint: network-manager

After starting up and logging in to GNOME i'm notified that hald has failed to initialize This makes NetworkManager unable to work, being able to suspend from the logout screen is not possible , and any thing else that uses the hal daemon can not fully function. The current work around from me is to open up a console and run "sudo hald". I'm using and inspiron 1420n that i bought from dell preloaded with feisty, which i upgraded to gusty. I have add now new hardware and this persists, since i upgrade to gusty, across the 2.6.20 kernel to the newest gusty kernel. Thank you for your help in advance.
