Title:
  Update to hal breaks wireless, need to reboot

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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
