Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Whenever there are updates to hal, the wireless connection drops, and
nm-applet will not show any networks to reconnect to. There may be
commands to 'reset' wireless via the command line, but I do not know
how. I need to reboot my computer to get any of the wireless networks to
show up again.
The update manager (or hal) should either automatically 'reset' /
'reload' the wireless hardware after updates (at least show the
available networks) or prompt for reboot.
Please contact me if you need more information, or if this should be
reported to nm-applet or hal
