Description: Since version 0.7.3-5, I cannot get my wifi connection to be working. Wpa supplicant stops working and kills my connexion.

Here is my dmesg | tail :

[fred@fredo-arch ~]$ dmesg | tail
[ 1094.060264] wlan0: associate with f4:ca:e5:de:ce:64 (try 1)
[ 1094.082843] wlan0: RX ReassocResp from f4:ca:e5:de:ce:64 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=1)

Looks like it was kinda related to networkmanager, because since networkmanager 0.9.2.0-3 was uploaded, I got no more problems connecting my laptop to my wifi box.

Don't worry anymore about this bug. My laptop fall while working from my table : screen exploded, disk was destroyed and it won't boot anymore :(
