Comment 84 for bug 280762

Hello! I used the same workaround and it worked for me. However the Network
manager applet in Jaunty does not work even with this. So i did a very
lenghthy workaaround. !) Installed Ibex first, configured the knm there ,
then 2) upgraded to jaunty using alternate CD. This way presrved my oledr
knm with config and was able to connect to internet.
