Today I ran opkg update, and after it segfaulted out towards the end, I found I could no longer fire up NetworkManager.


When I run sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start


it reports:


Starting Network connection manager daemon: NetworkManager/usr/sbin/NetworkManager: error while loading shared libraries: libnl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory.


I tried symlinking /usr/lib/libnl.so.2 to /usr/lib/libnl.so.1 but on startup into XFCE desktop, I get a popup that says "NetworkManager applet could not find some require resources. It cannot continue."


Any idea how to fix?
 
opkg update shouldn't do that. Update just downloads library listings. You sure you didn't do opkg upgrade? Upgrade is bad news, updating libraries that aren't ready to be upgraded yet.
