NM 0.7 Debian Lenny - strangest issue...

[Daniel Caleb <shamanicvision gmail com>]

Ok, I've been all over google looking for the answer to this - so if it 
gets answered in 3 lines, I'm going to kick my own a$$...

I've been struggling with getting nm 0.7 installed, and working, on 
Debian Lenny. I'm using Bielb's repos the 0.7.0~svn3758-1, or at least 
trying... a 2.6.25-4 kernel, and a broadcom 4306 wireless card. With NM 
0.6.6 everything works as expected.

I am trying to connect to an open wireless AP, the applet reports a 
connection and everything seems to be fine... I can ping the gateway, I 
can ping public DNS servers (4.2.2.1 & .2). It would appear I am getting 
out... However, if I do a nslookup or open a browser - no love. nslookup 
reports connection timeout, and hitting a web page gives a similar result.

I have tried editing the dbus-1/system.d/ files to ALLOW on all 
instances of DENY, and that did not help - I don't even know if those 
problems are related however I was out of other things to try... :) The 
only noticeable entry in syslog after the connection is made is:

Jul  6 01:27:38 allone NetworkManager: <info>  DHCP returned name 
servers but system has disabled dynamic modification!

& this one:

Jul  6 01:27:38 allone NetworkManager: <WARN>  check_one_route(): 
(wlan0) error -34 returned from rtnl_route_del(): Missing link name TLV 
(errno = Invalid argument)

--- Also, perhaps related, perhaps not... when I launch the nm-applet I 
get GTK assertion failures, however everything seems to function. The 
connection editor will crash repeatedly though when trying to modify the 
current connection. Also, nm-applet had to be restarted in order for 
settings to take effect.

Tonight I needed my wireless so I am back to 0.6.6, however tomorrow 
while at work I can get on the wired lan and continue to try to get 0.7 
up. If you guys have any ideas I'd love to hear them...

Thanks
Daniel
