HAL / NetworkManager / nm-applet

[Brian C. Huffman]

All,

I'm having a problem where both hald and NetworkManager die when my
session starts (and therefore nm-applet starts).  If I kill the
remaining hal processes (hald-addon-acpi and hald-addon-storage) and
then restart hald and NetworkManager

/etc/init.d/haldaemon start
/etc/init.d/NetworkManager start

Then everything works fine and my (still running) nm-applet comes up in
the notification panel.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brian
