Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

Dan Williams and Tambet Ingo are close to releasing 0.6.6  and
0.6.5.99/0.6.6RC2  is now available.   I understand that the intent with
Hardy was to push out 0.7 but it looks like the volatility of 0.7 has
understandably made that difficult.

0.6.6 has a number of HUGE improvements over 0.6.5:
Network profile editor
Wired 802.1x
AutoIP Notification (A different icon is used if an AutoIP address is used 
since a DHCP server failed to respond)
More EAP types are exposed in the Applet
Fixes for scanning issues
Plus a Large number of bug fixes.

If a Version Freeze exception is granted this new version resolves the 
following bugs:
40232:  No (easy) way to stop auto-association to an already trusted network
132473: [gutsy] network-manager i have to manually configure wpa/2 enterprise 
every time to connect
41134:(Security vulnerability) Does not store WPA-Enterprise password in keyring
75554: Unable to connect to SSID containing asterisks (*)
82113    network-manager lacks 802.1x ethernet support
107598           No one-click method to activate saved manual network profile
118439           Connects to any available network without asking

I am including the Changelog's and Diffstat's and subscribing Ubuntu-
Release as requested at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess

Thank you!
