Could you please attach the log files from /var/log/dist-upgrade for your troublesome upgrade.
OK Richard

Probably, I can't find the right info on the web at all.
module iwl3945 is loaded, lshw shows it as wmaster0 but ifup eth1 is the only one that [almost] works as before Hardy upgrade.
Get 'wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801' and never DHCP associates and sleeps.
nm never lets me set wireless (OK button disabled)
nm-applet stuck on 'manual config'

Yeah, that's the one I tried first and that hung at end of 2nd step as others have reported.
One point is that when you run it the panel update notification appears and it's not at all clear if you should use that or continue interacting with the dist upgrade.
