Comment 33 for bug 912702

i'm seeing this in raring too (dual boot lenovo q190 with kernel 3.10 - the only way to get realtek rtl8188 working).

i tried to replace nm-applet with wicd without success (managed to screw up all networking by apt-get purging network-manager; restored it; removed wicd; am back to nm-applet).

can't find a workaround/solution anywhere. can't believe there hasn't been one for so long. help!
