I think there may be other issues with the native prism54 drivers besides the WPA problem with Network Manager. After some more extended uses and rudimentary testing, I noticed that the wireless connection's performance is severely degraded. The data throughput rate is about a quarter of what its maximum capability used to be under Edgy, and it fluctuates wildly. It now takes about 4 times longer than before with Edgy to transfer a ~1GB file between two PCs on the LAN. I also noticed that the network activities LED (amber) on the WG511v1 flashes constantly even when the wireless connection should be at idle. Normally, this LED stays dark-not flashing dimly and rapidly--and doesn't light until there's traffic activities. I suspect that the drivers may be issuing extraneous packets and tying up the bandwidth for actual data transfers. I'm no network expert so I'm unable to sniff and check for those suspected packets. I'm uncertain but I also believe that the wireless connection and bit transfer rate is unaffected and is operating at its 802.11g peak rate of 54Mbps--even with all the detected network signal levels being degraded too. Again, I think there may be other issues with the native drivers too...
