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.
