Yes, I am running Ubuntu (Dapper), and Network Manager is 0.6.2. I did try to do my homework and went over the bugs in Launchpad, but since I found several that could be related to this (31286, 44753, 34898 and 35225), didn't do anything... I hope you can ask them to backport it.

Thanks again and best regards.
