Comment 43 for bug 357395

I have now installed U1 without difficulty on a desktop machine that uses
Network Manager. Back on my Macbook however still no option to add the
laptop, only the icon with the warning sign. Installed NetworkManager on
the Macbook (which knocked out Wicd) and U1 works perfectly now. It's a
solution at least!
