 Hi !
 Same here, removing the file /etc/volatile.cache didn't change any think
 :/
 Setting up a wireless connection by hand worked for me ( iwconfig eth0
 essid "MyEssid", ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.155/24, route add default gateway
 192.168.1.1, echo "nameserver ipOfDnsServer" > /etc/resolv.conf ) but
 after that the state remain 'unknow' ...

 Mofi work for me to setup a connection
