Bug Description
Doing a clean install from the intrepid alternate iso (32 bit, alpha 4) knetworkmanager can be started and it will find and connect to wifi networks. Since an update sometime around Tuesday (19th Aug) this no longer happens. It still shows the network, but seems to make no attempt to connect to it.
I've done a fresh install from the ISO again and confirmed that the version on the ISO works. After doing an apt-get dist-upgrade and rebooting the network no longer works -- wired is fine, but no connection attempt is made for wifi (no connecting cog is shown).
Hardware is an IBM R61 with Intel pro wireless 3945ABG (reported by lspci). I'm using LVM with encryption. So far I haven't had time to write a wpa_supplicant config file to try to connect through that so the problem might actually be with some lower level component -- just to reconfirm, the network and its signal strength do show when clicking on the system tray icon.
My home network is WPA Personal, but this also happens with open networks.
