Hi all,

I just updated to kernel 1928 (along with about a gig of updates), and 
I'm having some trouble with NetworkManager. In short, it fails when 
trying to connect to a wireless network. Below are the applicable 
entries in messages:

When trying to bring up the NetworkManager daemon initially:
Feb 10 22:22:55 panoz NetworkManager: <WARNING>  real_act_stage2_config 
(): Activation (eth1/wireless): couldn't connect to the supplicant.
Feb 10 22:24:31 panoz NetworkManager: <WARNING>  real_act_stage2_config 
(): Activation (eth1/wireless): couldn't connect to the supplicant.
Feb 10 22:25:18 panoz NetworkManager: <WARNING>  real_act_stage2_config 
(): Activation (eth1/wireless): couldn't connect to the supplicant.
Feb 10 22:25:24 panoz NetworkManager: <WARNING>  nm_dbus_init (): 
nm_dbus_init() could not acquire the NetworkManager service as it is 
already taken (ret=3). Is the daemon already running?
Feb 10 22:25:24 panoz NetworkManager: <ERROR>   [1139628324.925906] main 
(): nm_dbus_init() failed, exiting. Either dbus is not running, or the 
NetworkManager dbus security policy was not loaded.
Feb 10 22:25:24 panoz NetworkManager: traceback:
Feb 10 22:25:24 panoz NetworkManager:   NetworkManager [0x8061fc5]

/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc) [0xbf6784]
Feb 10 22:25:24 panoz NetworkManager:   NetworkManager [0x804d791]

And when trying to connect to a wireless network, all I get is
Feb 10 22:30:25 panoz NetworkManager: <WARNING>  real_act_stage2_config 
(): Activation (eth1/wireless): couldn't connect to the supplicant.

dbus is running and seems to be functioning properly. And if I bypass 
NetworkManager, I can still get an IP via DHCP and connect to the 
network. I'd appreciate any ideas.

Thanks,
