^^^^^ this line says you're using a development version of
NetworkManager.  Is that correct?  If so, the development version
(trunk, or CVS HEAD) isn't yet ready for general consumption, and you
should probably stick with what Ubuntu already provides.  I don't know
what version the Ubuntu package maintainers decided to stick in 6.10,
but if they are using anything from trunk (ie, 0.7-based) then that's a
Bad Thing right now.
