You said it yourself, that it worked for certain configurations, but
only failed for:
AP using 802.11g: Did not receive IP
AP using 802.11b+g: Did not receive IP

The madwifi driver is known to have problems. Which version do you have
(where did you get it from)? Is this driver version the one based on the
madwifi-ng branch?

My guess is, that it is a driver issue. NM is very picky in that regard.
The driver has to properly support the Wireless Extensions (wext) api
otherwise it will not work properly in combination with NM.
Packages like wpa_supplicant have many workarounds for broken drivers,
which is a bad thing imho, because it caused many badly written drivers
which did not standardize on one central API.

Cheers,
Michael
