Network Manager messed up after recent update

There seems to be some issue with Network Manager after recent kernel/udev update
(LXDE). It boots OK but the minute I click on the icon in the panel to choose the network to connect to it hangs.

It was okay before the update. Once it hangs nothing responds. Only the USB mouse moves but clicking on any icon or window button has no response. It frees up after a few minutes, but if you repeat the action it occurs again.

I uninstalled it and switched to wicd. It works fine now.

Here is the log output from /var/log/errors.log

Nov 10 10:20:36 localhost kernel: [  241.060500] INFO: task NetworkManager:683 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Any suggestions. On a HP Pavilion g4.

Re: Network Manager messed up after recent update

I don't now if it's the same problem but since yesterday's update I got my connection throught networkmanager to go down some time (I hat to disconnect and reconnect manually)... here logs:

Re: Network Manager messed up after recent update

Yes. NetworkManaged has some new issue... eth0 does not go up after resuming from hibernate / suspend. I Fixed it momentarily issuing an "rc.d restart networkmanager" in my /etc/pm/sleep.d/00_local script, in the "thaw" and "resume" hooks.

00_local:

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
    hibernate)
        ;;
    suspend)
        ;;
    thaw)
        /etc/rc.d/networkmanager restart
        ;;
    resume)
        /etc/rc.d/networkmanager restart
        ;;
    *)  echo "WRONG PM HOOK!!!"
        ;;
esac

Re: Network Manager messed up after recent update

Today I upgraded networkmanager to 0.9.2.0-1, nothing changes. eth0 is down and my wired connection "unmanaged" after suspend. The fix I posted on #3 does not work, I have to issue "rc.d restart networkmanager" by hand after a few seconds from resume, else it doesn't work.

Re: Network Manager messed up after recent update

I rolled back my system to kernel 3.0.7-1 AND udev 174-1 then network manager 0.9.2.0-1 works perfectly for me. Blame the new kernel and / or udev.

Re: Network Manager messed up after recent update

Did the latest kernel upgrade fix this. I am so comfortable with wicd that am not changing now...

Re: Network Manager messed up after recent update

Confirmed fix (Linux 3.1.2-1). What we will do without this little Arch Linux breakages...

Re: Network Manager messed up after recent update

I rolled back again to 3.0.7-1, but for another reason... long USB stick transfers make the system unresponsive with the 3.1.2-1 kernel.
