Dan William's suggestion that the users should disable NetworkManager is not valid.
In my case I use NetworkManager to manage ethernet and wireless. But I also have a UMTS modem and no way for NetworkManager to deal with it AFAIK. I use NM for ethernet and wireless, and also use nm-applet to start the UMTS connection.
I believe this is a valid use case, particularly in my country where UMTS modems are usual.
So, yes this bug is annoying and the workaround (disabling NM) is not valid for me.
