Binary package hint: network-manager

here the changelog entries to readd - resurrected from http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager_0.6.3-2ubuntu7/changelog:

network-manager (0.6.3-2ubuntu7) feisty; urgency=low

  * Add debian/patches/00upstream-ftbfs.patch:
    - Fix dbus version check in src/NetworkManagerDbus.c to work with dbus
      1.0.
    - src/nm-netlink-monitor.c: Standard fix for new if_addr.h world order.
    - These issues are already fixed in the currently pending Debian merge, so
      this patch can go away soon.
  * Add debian/patches/13_avahi-autoipd.patch:
    - src/nm-device.c: Do not use the internal get_autoip() function, but
      instead check if avahi-autoipd was engaged for the interface and do not
      meddle with the settings in that case. This is in accordance with
      upstream who wants to completely throw away the internal IPv4LL code.
    - src/dhcp-manager/nm-dhcp-manager.c: Raise DHCP timeout from 45 seconds
      to 99 seconds, thus effectively disabling it. We want to use
      dhclient.conf's timeout configuration; if that happens to be longer, we
      interrupt dhclient while it's still working and get confused if the IP
      suddenly changes underneath us.
    - src/dhcp-manager/nm-dhcp-manager.c: Treat DHCDBD_FAIL like
      DHCDBD_TIMEOUT, i. e. continue with stage 4 of device activation
      (IPv4LL address assignment) instead of giving up and trying all over
      again. Since dhcdbd calls dhclient in single-shot mode (-1), it will
      never return with TIMEOUT, only with FAILURE, and we want to go into
      zeroconf mode instead of being stuck in an endless retry loop.
    - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZeroConfNetworking for details.
