I also have a Dapper installation on my laptop with a PCMCIA Xircom CWE-1130 card (rebranded aironet 802.11b) that fails to connect via nm- applet but will successfully connect at home or work with iwconfig and dhclient. Home is 64bit WEP and work is non-broadcasting, unencrypted [not my decision]).
Below is the very similar output from my syslog, if there is anything I can add please contact me. Network Manager is a great project and I would be very interested in helping as much as possible. ~~~~~ SYSLOG snippet ~~~~~ Jul 24 20:54:13 localhost NetworkManager: <information>^Imatch Jul 24 20:54:13 localhost NetworkManager: <debug info>^I[1153788853.726291] nm_device_802_11_wireless_get_activation_ap (): Forcing AP 'highland' Jul 24 20:54:13 localhost NetworkManager: <information>^IUser Switch: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth2 / highland Jul 24 20:54:13 localhost NetworkManager: <information>^IDeactivating device eth2.
