Similar bug on my Compaq X1000 laptop running Intrepid 8.10 with all updates....
I have an internal intel wireless lan 2100 3b mini on the laptop.... works fine out of the box..... But I wanted to had a faster (read g) USB or Cardbus NIC to go with my n capable router (would be nice to have support in Ubuntu for n wireless by the way) ...... I tried several makes and models.... mostly Broadcom and Atheros based wireless NIC mostly on the cardus port...... but had access to an USB based Broadcom as well from a friend.... The NIC would show up, but I was never able to use them in roaming mode, or manual mode..... I was disabling the intel built in card by turning it off with the radio button. Either the radio button turns off all wireless NICs or there's another bug with network manager 0.7 with multiple wireless interfaces.... Anyway.... I decided to remove the internal wireless card from my laptop and upon reboot.... both the Broadcom and Atheros based cards worked in roaming mode (I didn't have a usb based nic to test with anymore at the time, and I tested the cardbus NICs separately of course.)
