Comment 21 for bug 1169614

OK, if you can change /etc/init/network-manager.conf so the exec line reads:

exec NetworkManager --log-level=DEBUG

And apply the attached patch to the n-m sources, rebuild & install, what happens? (As you need syslogd to stay up to log the results, just 'sudo stop network-manager' and have a in /var/log/syslog.)

I see (slightly edited):
