Public bug reported:
Running Ubuntu Karmic. an update to either HAL, NetworkManager, or nm-
applet in the last 48 hours has caused network manager to flail when a
3G mobile broadband USB device is inserted.
The behaviour is very strange. Sometimes it works when first plugged in
after a fresh boot, but subsequently inserting the device the nm-applet
"connecting" indicator spins at something approaching lightspeed, and
the CPU is pegged 100%.
The NetworkManager process shows up as the thing eating the processor;
tried killing it, but it's respawned replacement shortly resumes 100%
CPU consumption and mad spinning.
I've had one success by killing the demon AND the applet then restarting
[the latter], but in the main I've had to reboot to fix it; I had to
find an open wifi access point to report this. The whole stack was
running fine until Saturday.
