Looks like this made NetworkManager break.

It would be interesting to look into this bug anyway, to make NetworkManager more robust. I had to kill NetworkManager with -9, as it wouldn't terminate otherwise.

Thanks Lee.

Those updates have fixed it for me as well. Having only installed the beta yesterday, it was very disappointing to see the NM breakage.
I hope there's no further disruption (or deeper problem).

Now I can continue testing ...

Those updates are applied on my machine and didn't help. I'm running an XPS1330 with a stupid Broadcom wireless card. Anyways, if go into Network under Administration and manually configure my wireless instead of leaving it on roaming it connects and doesn't peg out my CPU. At least this will get me going till it is fixed.

I have a Dell XPS M1330. This is my wireless card:

Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN

but I have a Broadcom for ethernet

However updates worked for me.

@Thomas Heidrich

Some reports here confirms and some denies this issue after upgrade. Of course I'm talking about my very configuration, but it doesn't mean that it works on everyone's computer.

Before patch NM was polling something many times per second (watched via strace command). It looked like infinite loop.
Now it stays quiet in background and I`am able to see many other actions not only polling events. And it uses 0% cpu not 100% and makes me able to connect via WiFi (which I'm using right now). So in my case issue is resolved.

-- edit

While writing this post something strage happened. I was deauthenticated from AP, and can't connect once more.. In logs are many errors like

[ 6438.416453] wlan0: authenticated
[ 6438.416454] wlan0: associate with AP 00:13:10:4a:c6:88
[ 6438.417373] wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:13:10:4a:c6:88 (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=3)
[ 6438.417376] wlan0: associated

[ 6441.606802] wlan0: deauthenticated

So.. something happend or maybe it's a normal issue that reathentication using wpa-psk takes about 4 minutes to became valid?

Seems like the common thread is that the HAL update does not fix broadcom users. I have a broadcom card here, and still have trouble with network-manager, despite having all updates.

Steven Walter (stevenrwalter) wrote : Found a fix

I rebuilt network-manager from source. If I disable all of ubuntu's patches, network-manager no longer crashes and associates with my network successfully. Apply this patch and rebuild network-manager; see if it fixes the crash for anybody else.

Im not quite sure about this but i suspect from peoples opposite response to
