Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.1-6
Severity: serious
I just upgraded network-manager from 0.8.1-3 to 0.8.1-6 on a squeeze
system. Before the upgrade, I was able to manage my wlan0 interface as a
normal user in group "netdev". After the upgrade, n-m insisted the the
device was "unmanaged".
Apparently, the upgrade modified my /etc/network/interfaces to insert
the line
#NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp
after "allow-hotplug eth0". It did not, however, insert a corresponding
line after "allow-hotplug wlan0". (Incidentally, I don't quite see why
n-m's maintainer scripts have any business writing to this file
unprompted.) I was able to resolve the issue by setting "managed=true"
in the [ifupdown] section of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.
I consider this bug serious because it deprives systems which previously
had network connectivity of such connectivity and is nontrivial to fix
for common users.

That is an unrelated issue, see #530024 if you want the gory details.

I'm going to close this bug, here is why:
You have
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 172.25.1.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 172.25.1.1
wireless-essid spohr
wireless-key s:********
dns-nameservers 141.1.1.1
dns-search mgoetze.net
in your /etc/network/interfaces file.
This means, your wlan0 interface will be brought up by ifupdown during boot.
The default of network-manager has *always* been to not touch any interfaces
which are defined in /etc/network/interfaces (managed=false), this already was
the behaviour in lenny.
Due to a bug in the interfaces parser though, some configurations were not
correctly marked as unmanaged though (like yours). This was fixed in 0.8.1-6.
