Hi Kyle,

maybe giskard (Riccardo Setti) contacted you already about
NetworkManager [1]. The problem is, that NM must be able to send AP_SCAN
commands over the control socket, support for that has been added to the
latest development release 0.5.1. Without that NM can not work.
So I guess giskard asked you to upload a 0.5.1 version to experimental.
If that is too much hassle for you, there is also a small patch that can
be applied to the current stable version and which is also sufficient.
As you will have to release a 0.4.8 version anyway I included this patch
(30_ctrl_iface_ap_scan.dpatch) and prepared a new release 0.4.8-1. I
attached you the resulting diff.gz. All you would have to do is to
update the changelog.
You would do us (the Debian Utopia Team) a big favor if you could upload
this version 0.4.8-1 to unstable.

Regards,
Michael Biebl
