i'd advise the users not to install the new libnl..... there is something
that breaks networkmanager. after having it and knm installed fine i had
some troubles with networkmanager itself after restart. it seems that there
is something that doesn't work well inside.
i'll try having a look inside this from sunday and see if i can figure out
something.
