I am having a very similar problem. In my case, the only way I can restore my network connection after a restart/shutdown is to delete the network via "Edit Wireless Networks" then click on my wireless network in the list presented by nm-applet.
Looking at the password in the details for my network in "Edit Wireless Networks" shows the wrong password; it's actually my old WEP password from before my switch to WPA with TKIP. Changing the password and clicking on Set Password does not save the new open. I am running Ubunut 8.04 with nm-applet 0.6.6 with a Netgear WG311T NIC. The only relevant info I can glean from /var/log/syslog is this: Aug 26 06:59:35 PACIFICA NetworkManager: <info> Activation (ath0) started...
