Public bug reported:
wifi doesn't want to connect using networkmanager (hardy heron)
When i do it manually wpa does work and i can dhclient ath0 for an ip.
NetworkManager seems to freeze (only dies when i send it a -9)
Manual doesn't work all the time, i have to ctrl-c and restart wpa_supplicant
-iath0 -c ./wpa_sup.conf a couple of times before it will give a
CTRL-EVENT-CONN- a connection to the wifi router (speedtouch 780 w/ firmware
release: 6.2.17.5)
See below (after sysinfo) for the problems i run into when trying it manually

This is what happens when wpa_supplicant doesn't want to connect;
NetworkManager isn't running so that won't collide.

[waited a few minutes before killing this process with a ctrl-c]
CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 2 received
And retrying it by restarting wpa_supplicant (have to do it 'a couple of times'
before it usually works):

Now with a sudo dhclient ath0 i'm provided with an dhcp address and wifi
seems to work.
