Thanks for the report, looks like a bug in the underlying
python-networkmanager library.  Can you paste in the name of the network that
is causing this problem?

The place to post the bug report is here:
https://github.com/seveas/python-networkmanager

I've submitted my changes to him (i.e. eighthave/python-manager).
