Bug Description

this is a fork out for Martin's issues in bug 290177.
See: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/290177/comments/8
and: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19271027/nm-serial.txt

Binary package hint: network-manager

Reproduce:
1. stop NM (/etc/init.d/network-manager stop)
2. start it manually from command line with serial logging: export NM_SERIAL_DEBUG=1; sudo NetworkManager --no-daemon
3. verify that you see a bunch of +CREG: 0,2 or +CREG: 0,0 while trying to connect and that it finally fails like:
      "automatic_registration_response(): Automatic registration failed: not registered and not searching."

Validate:
1. install updated packages/patch
2. check that you dont see the same flooding of CREG: 0,2 or CREG: 0,0 in your log
3. verify that it connects properly

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu2

---------------
network-manager (0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

  * fix LP: #292054 - Some drivers take too long to associate (Was:
    network-manager 0.7 always asks for WPA passphrase); we workaround
    this driver/wpasupplicant bug by giving association more time
    (e.g. 60sec instead of 25sec)
    - add debian/patches/lp292054_tune_supplicant_timeout_60s.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * fix LP: #256905 - dbus policy file (nm-avahi-autoipd.conf) not properly
    deployed in package; install nm-avahi-autoipd.conf
    - update debian/network-manager.install
  * fix LP: #282207 - [Sierra] NM 0.7 does not set APN for AT&T 3G connection;
    apply fix from Jerone Young
    - add debian/patches/lp282207_set_apn_at_syntax.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * fix LP: #268667 - not all required ppp options get set on command line
    which makes ppp use bad values from /etc/ppp/options; we backport upstream
    fix
    - add debian/patches/lp268667_more_ppp_default_options.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * fix LP: #291564 - ifupdown network manager does not blacklist/unmanage
    mapped devices in managed=false mode; thanks to Stephan Trebels for the
    patch
    - add debian/patches/lp291564_ifupdown_unmanage_mapping_and_iface.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * fix LP: #291902 - ifupdown plugin should not export any parsed connection
    configuration when running in managed=false mode; we fix this by exporting
    empty connection list in unmanaged mode
    - add debian/patches/lp291902_IFUPDOWN_dont_export_connection_in_unmanaged_mode.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * belt-and-braces fix LP: #290468 VPN fails, "/usr/bin/nm-ppp-starter
    missing"; we remove obsolete conffiles in -pptp .preinst; in case user
    modified them they will be renamed to .dpkg-bak; this patch takes care that
    NM doesn't consider files in /etc/NetworkManager/VPN that don't have a
    .name filename suffix.
    - add debian/patches/lp290468_only_consider_name_suffix_VPN_service_files.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * fix LP: #303142 - 3G [Option] some modems take a while time to register on
    network (CREG); we use g_timeout_add instead of _idle_add to give the
    modem some rest during registration phase.
    - add debian/patches/lp303142_more_time_for_automatic_registration.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
