Network-Manager bug update

So a dev responded to my bug report by referring to some packages he had in his PPA. I installed them a couple of weeks ago, and network manager has been pretty solid for me since then. No more of this random freezing up at any rate. So now I believe te dev is waiting for positive feedback to get his patches pushed through to the real repo. So if you've had these problems, check the bug, try the packages, and post your results!
