Could someone please review https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2160 ?
The bug has been confirmed by others, but has been outstanding for over 2 months with no improvement.
I really think a decision needs to be made here. If we don't have the expertise to fix NM, and if upstream won't, then I'd like us to reevaluate why it is in the distro at all. Apparently there are many wireless devices that NetworkManager can't handle, and by default, it is not enabled for wired devices, so I question why it's needed.
Perhaps it should be moved to testing for those hardy souls for which it is useful, but I really can't see Mageia 2 going out the door with this level of wireless breakage.
