[Bug 93019] Feisty - Network manager loses wireless connection but does not show in knetworkmanager and pretty much locks up system.

[Puck]

Public bug reported:

I'm using a Netgear wg311v3 with the initial driver release and the NDIS
wrapper. When ever my wireless loses connection because of a bad signal
(I'm assumig this because I had frequent drops before because of a weak
signal) knetworkmanager does now show it. If I try to reconnect to the
network or connect to a different network it'll just say that it's
trying to connect and it'll stay on that, never connecting. After the
disconnection most programs will not run even after killing X with
ctrl+alt+backspace, not even X again. Even if I switch to TTY1 I can't
even run sudo killall on anything. All I can do is ctrl-alt-del and
restart.
