Subversion NetworkManager not operational (for me).

[Fred Clausen <fred derf nl>]

Hi All,

I am interested in getting the latest Subversion NetworkManager as the
one distributed with Ubuntu 7.10 (NM version 0.6.5) does not yet show my
WPA AP (CCMP) in the list of available wireless APs. I could connect to
it via "Other Wireless" but I did not want to have to do this step every
time.

So, while at work today (where I am using wired ethernet), I decided to
check out the latest svn sources and compile them. I used the following
autogen line:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --with-dbus-sys=/etc/dbus-1/system.d\
--with-wpa_supplicant=/sbin/wpa_supplicant\
--with-dhcdbd=/usr/sbin/dhcdbd --with-distro=debian

This built fine and I also built the latest nm-applet. However, when I
start NetworkManager is does not see any Wireless access points and
cannot get a DHCP lease from the wired ethernet.

Any assistance in getting this working will be greatly appreciated. I am
suspecting a dbus problem.

I will now provide some info:

 * Hardware - Dell Latitude D610, ipw2200 wireless and tg3 ethernet.
 * OS - Ubuntu 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22-14-generic)
 * nm-tool output :
