Comment 91 for bug 524454

Chris, you probably shouldn't do this because it will likely cause you further issues when disabling wireless or networking later.

I'm building packages now for testing, they will be available in https://edge.launchpad.net/~mathieu-tl/+archive/nm as soon as they are done building with the package in the same state as they are on Lucid with just this patch added. I haven't tested them myself yet, so no guarantees it works since I have to edit the patches a fair amount.

OTOH, you could always use the packages from the ~network-manager team PPA as it was proposed previously. Again, those packages may not work and cause other issues. Please only attempt either PPA if you're comfortable with fixing NM and downloading packages manually by downgrade or whatever if things don't work.
