NetworkManager is just a tool to control your network connections.  It 
assumes that you already have a network/wireless driver installed 
correctly, which is either compiled in the kernel or is a kernel 
module.  So if you are having a trouble with the kernel driver for your 
network card, you need to get that fixed before you can use NetworkManager.

Now NetworkManager may have a problem *using* your specific driver 
correctly...  in my case, it is simply issuing the wrong command 
(AP_SCAN 1) to wpa_supplicant, when in fact it should be AP_SCAN 2 for 
ndiswrapper.  But this is not (I don't think) a problem with the 
ndiswrapper kernel module.

And bug 39707 is a completely separate issue altogether.
