--------------------------------

To what extent can we close this out as fixed-in-Jaunty?

> This is fixed by taking a newer version of Network Manager.  (The final release was shipped from upstream on 11/26/08, after Intrepid shipped.)
> The newer version is in Jaunty.  (In fact, Jaunty seems to be updating to 0.7.1.)
> There is an early backport in network-manager ppa, but the autarch of Network Manager for Ubuntu, Alexander Sack said:
>     Current plan is: once I have 0.7 with soname bump in jaunty i will
>     provide backport and then based on feedback consider a SRU for that.
>         ...
>     I plan to look into a real backport of 0.7.1 once that is out
>     ... upstream did the required SONAME bump there.
> There are work arounds.  Let's document them here, and decide on whether or not we'll push for an SRU in Intrepid.
