For now, I'm just letting you know that sid has networking that's broken. I don't know what is broken, but it takes out your whole networking and network cards / adaptors.

Hi Mike,

I'm on sid and if I was to do a dist-upgrade now it will remove network-manager:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
   network-manager plasma-nm wireshark-qt

So I wouldn't do a dist-upgrade right now :)

You have to be careful and watch what it's telling you.

Regards,
Geoff
