Description Thomas Hecker 2006-06-13 16:40:43 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
nm does not see my usb adapter (using driver 'ndiswrapper') when plugging in after having started nm.

typing
sudo lshal -m net
results in 
net_00_01_e3_09_2f_df added

so the HAL system is working properly.

workaround. restart nm and nm-applet


Steps to reproduce:
1. starting nm
2. plug in the adapter
3. 


Actual results:
nothing

Expected results:
nm-applet should show the adapter

Does this happen every time?
yes

I can confirm this behaviour, which can also be seen by simply
  modprobe -r ipw3945
  modprobe ipw3945
(Which, as above produces the correct HAL messages - but a remove and an add)

NetworkManager requires a restart however to notice this.

Is this on a debian-derived distribution?  Try adding this:

        <policy user="haldaemon">
               <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
                <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
        </policy>

to your /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf file.  Debian distros appear to need to allow the haldaemon user to talk to NM.

You are right, it is a Ubuntu Dapper system.
An it works this way!
