Ok, I kept switching networks until NM froze, at this point I did "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" and it listed 12 separate networks (actually more networks than NM was showing). So, I reloaded NM and it worked fine and connected to my preferred network. I repeated this again until NM froze for the second time and as I went to type "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" again, my terminal session quit and X pretty much died. I could click on things but I couldn't get any programs/applets to open, not system monitor, not terminal, not even the 'quit' applet to shutdown/reboot. Ctl+alt+backspace to reload X didn't work, neither did any desktop effects. So I was forced to reboot the hard way. I was unable to see if it was the driver that froze my system or NM.
