We are experiencing very flaky wifi on the N900 and wlan0 seems to
work fine with standard wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant etc. But not
with connman (0.54 from trunk + fix for BMC#3807, which made connman
extremely flaky with SIGSEGVs.)

I have implemented a testcase which runs at startup:
* In rc.sysinit, rm -rf /var/lib/connman/default.profile to ensure a
clean slate. Patch for BMC#3807 is included in connman binary.
* In rc.sysinit, run connmand -n -d '*' &> /connman.debug
* In rc.sysinit, disable ofonod, bluetoothd and Nokia N900 usb
networking as to not interfere
* After 60 seconds, run /usr/lib/connman/test/test-manager
* Check output for /org/moblin/connman/technology/wifi which would
indicate wifi technology being available, indicate date/time +
PASS/FAIL in log
* Dump /var/log/messages, /var/log/debug and /connman.debug into log
* Reboot, try again.

In one run, wifi only appeared 6 out of 16 times which is considered
slightly flaky in my books. I haven't verified if the same issue
happens on other hardware configurations, but it might.

At http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/meego/connman-14jul2010.log you can
download my test log, there's a good number of FAIL cases and some
PASS cases to look at.

It would be great if you connman guys (or anyone else) could come with
theories on why this is so flaky, it would be fantastic as this is
keeping us from a usable image on N900.
