Your interface has not authenticated. If it had, there would be an encryption 
key here.

This is a low signal/noise. Attached is a patch that will cut the rate from 24M to 11M to see if that helps get you connected.

I'm not sure. Is there a log? nm-tool reports this:

In the panel kicker applet used with NM on KDE, I get a progression bar. I 
guess it isn't universal.


But, I think it reloads itself. In fact I can see it in dmesg. Is it possible that NM causes it to reload the module ?

I don't think NM is doing it by itself. At least it doesn't do that on my system. When I unload the module, I have to manually reload it, and then reconnect.
