Bluetooth installation stops Network Manager working in Lucid

Asked by lively

I recently upgraded to Lucid.
As in Karmic, the bluetooth manager functioned intermittently so I tried un-installing the bluetooth stack an bluetooth manager.
I restarted my system, all is working as it should. WiFi internet access working well etc.
I re-installed the Bluez and the gnome bluetooth manager, restarted the computer - no WiFi but I can access the net via cable.
I un-installed Bluez, restarted the system and the WiFi worked.
I also tried installing Bluesoleil with the same result.
I would like to be able to connecd to my phone/mouse via Bluetooth.
You input will be gratefully appreciated!

Try installing wicd instead, You may have discovered a bug and should be logged but if wicd works fine then it's the 2 apps conflicting.

sudo apt-get install wicd

It will also automagically remove network manager too, wicd can NOT access 3G connections so if you use these then wicd is not a good choice.

Thanks for your help
I installed the WICD, unfortunately it didn't automagically remove network manager, it also couldn't find any of the networks in my neighborhood, even my own. I uninstalled network manager manually and restarted but it still didn't work. I'm back to network manager!
I think I'll create a bug report
