NAK - Still broken here.

ii  network-manager          0.6.5-0ubuntu9           network management 
framework daemon
ii  network-manager-gnome    0.6.5-0ubuntu8           network management 
framework (GNOME frontend)

(Is there an update pending for network-manager-gnome which is needed,
and I've not got yet?)

Symptom here is a failure to associate to the wep network, with repeated
prompting for the password.

Workaround is:

sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset 
/system/networking/wireless/networks/<NAME_OF_NETWORK>
sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager start

It will then connect properly.

I also noted that when on an unsecure network recently, I still had to
do the RF-Kill Off / On whilst assocating trick. This "feels" like its
becase the ipw3945 driver manages to associate to any unsecure network
it finds (might / might not be correct) _without_ network manager, and
network-manager causes it to un-associate. It then fails to associate
correctly with the desired network, and the RF-Off /On cycle perhaps
kicks the driver into finding something (Does it always find the one you
asked for?).
