Oops, I shouldn't have said that since the second patch does not apply completely clean. Attached is a revised patch that does.
If this patch isn't accepted here is how to manually patch it yourself: Download required tools to build packages: sudo apt-get install build-essential dh-make Download Network-Manager dependencies sudo apt-get build-dep network-manager Download the Network-Manager Sources sudo apt-get source network-manager Copy the attached patch to network-manager-0.6.4/debian/patches (note if there is already a patch that begins with 19 use the next available number) and rebuild the package with: cd network-manager-0.6.4 sudo debuild -us -uc This will create a complete set deb's in your home directory. ** Attachment added: "Patch for the Atheros quality issue" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5913247/19_rml-atheros.patch -- wrong signal level on Macbook with Atheros chip https://launchpad.net/bugs/69709 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
