Comment 20 for bug 280417

sudenly I have problems with wireless device eth1, (using proprietary Broadcom STA wireless driver).
after startup under wireless networks in nm applet says - device is unmanaged and can not connect to wireless network
 i cant get things to work after disabling/enabling wireless card using laptop button and deactivating/activating proprietary broadcom sta wireless,removing/inserting wl module from/to kernel, restarting /etc/init.d/networking and networkmanager, but sometimes have to do it many times and I am not sure what actually "repairs" networking, when it starts to work than it is stable.

Did no changes in network configuration, wireless worked fine for ~ 1 month until before few days

from syslog, regarding eth1 when restarting network manager

NetworkManager: <info> eth1: driver is 'wl'.
NetworkManager: <info> eth1: driver does not support SSID scans (scan_capa 0x00).
NetworkManager: <info> Found new 802.11 WiFi device 'eth1'.
NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): exported as /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_21_00_60_b0_00
NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): now unmanaged

Wired network works fine without any problems, applet looks same as for Shai Inbal at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18351483/Screenshot.png
