NM service hang

[Bill Moss <bmoss CLEMSON EDU>]

IBMT42, kernel-2.6.10-1.741, ipw2200-0.21 wireless driver.

The CVS changes to fix the nameserver removal error made yesterday 
morning by Colin worked fine. Later in the day a number of changes where 
made in the src directory. Regarding these latest changes, if NM is 
started with the --no-daemon option, wired and wireless networks appear 
to be operating normally with NM. If NM is started as a service at boot 
or after boot, NM will connect to the wired network OK. If NM is started 
as a service at boot or after boot, NM will not connect to the wireless 
network. It hangs just after establishing that wired and wireless 
devices exist. The wireless network is not seen in the NM applet. hal 
device manager shows both wired and wireless devices. Once the service 
hangs, the command 'service NetworkManager stop' will not kill the hung 
service. 'kill -9 pid' will kill it. The wireless device can be 
configured manually without any problem and appears to be operating 
normally.
