Comment 10 for bug 133251

ryan: Got the same behavior with wicd, the issue appears to be to do with the kernel module. Compiling the legacy driver from CVS offers support for the latest kernel's and doesn't have any problems at all.... was the only way I could get the network working.

I stopped using network-manager as it's pants for servers at the moment.... doesn't even start the network at boot! 0.7 promises to fix a lot of the issues... fingers crossed. :)
