Comment 3 for bug 204897

I have updated to hal 0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu2 this morning (installed 8.04 beta yesterday as an upgrade from 7.10), and even after a reboot am still seeing network manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu2 consume 100% CPU. This occurs when I remove my ethernet cable and network manager attempts to connect to my wifi network. The following is from the syslog:

If I kill NetworkManager (sudo kill -9), reconnect my ethernet cable and then restart NetworkManager, it does restore my wired connection.
