Comment #13 said that there was an upload to oneiric-proposed. I was
expecting to see network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu6 in oneiric-proposed,
but I don't see it.  So I'm wondering if I'm doing something stupid or
if anyone one else has successfully installed network-manager from
oneiric-proposed.

Title:
  Unable to find wireless networks after toggling wireless

Status in NetworkManager:
  Fix Released
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5.

  If I use either the network manager applet or the nmcli -p nm wifi
  on|off command to toggle wireless on and off, wireless networks are no
  longer seen even though wireless is enabled and the wireless LED is
  on.

  My Samsung N150 netbook has the rfkill.default_state=0 parameter. I do
  the following commands:

  rfkill unblock wifi
  nmcli -p nm wifi on
  nmcli -p nm wifi off
  nmcli -p nm wifi on

  At this point the wireless LED is on. If I do nmcli -p dev wifi, it
  shows no wireless networks. Other commands show the following:

  $ nmcli -p nm wifi
  ================
    WiFi enabled
  ================
  WIFI
  ----------------
  enabled

  $ rfkill list
  0: samsung-wifi: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
  1: phy0: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no

  $ nmcli -p dev
  ===========================================
               Status of devices
  ===========================================
  DEVICE     TYPE              STATE
  -------------------------------------------
  wlan0      802-11-wireless   unavailable
  eth0       802-3-ethernet    connected

  wlan0 should not be unavailable. It should be disconnected.

  I have to disable wireless and use the rfkill command to block/unblock
  wifi to get wireless working again. I suspect this issue has been
  fixed in network-manager 0.9.1.95 as there was a patch to nm-udev-
  manager.c that was committed on September 30, 2011 (core: improving
  handling of rfkill):
