Comment 30 for bug 211631

I just tried wiring up my lappy, which is up to date with the distribution sources, and I have the same issue using Network Manager as I had with the wireless. An interesting test would be to code the activation of the wireless network connection into the local startup/shutdown process and remove Network Manager to see what happens. That wouldn't be a preferred solution, though, because the advantage to wireless is the ability to switch hot spots on the fly with NM. If I get time this weekend I can give it a try -- work has got me pretty out straight during the week (probably why they call it "work" and not "play" -- though they are both 4 letter words ;-)
