I'm using Network-Manager from Debian unstable with my thinkpad t40p. It works great with my Intel wireless card. I was traveling this weekend and connecting to a new wireless ap was as easy as it could be. Network-Manager also works at home with my WPA secured network. My t40p originally has an atheros card, but I changed that with an Intel one (it was a little bit scary to take my thinkpad apart...). I newer got the atheros card/driver working reliable with Network-Manager, but when I changed to Intel it worked great. So the wireless card/driver support is very essential too.
