Actually, it happens when I try to connect to a WPA network using wicd
as well. Maybe the problem is with the drivers/kernel/wpa_supplicant and
not network-manager?

Happens to me too. Same chipset. I can connect to an unsecured network
just fine, but attempting to connect to a WPA network with network-
manager freezes the whole system (using the live CD).
