network manager unreliable with broadcom 4315 wireless

Here is what happened:
1) I installed 9.04 rc1 and the wireless worked out of the box, until
it dropped connection and reconnected. At that point, it continually
asked for a WEP key and after that no matter how many times I verified
it, it came back and asked for WEP until eventually gave up. After
that, no matter how i rebooted, etc, it would not recognize any
available wireless.
2) So I installed 8.10. This never was able to use the wireless at
all. NM acted like there were never any wireless to detect, even tho
the various listings lspci, dmesg, etc all looked normal (and the
proprietary broadcom driver was available & activated). In short,
same as above after a reboot. So.
3) In desperation, I reinstalled 9.04...Same deal. It worked for a
couple of hours, but then dropped & reconnected and went into WEP
PLZKTHX mode. So I uninstalled NM and put in wicd. Played with that,
but wasn't perfectly happy with it, and so reinstalled Network
manager, but this time went straight into NM and TURNED OFF THE
AUTOCONNECT. Since then, for several days, it has worked perfectly.
I just need to take the additional step of telling it to, yes, connect
to this wireless router instead of letting the puppy think on its own.
WILD SPECULATION ON MY PART: NM is fucking up one or more of its
configuration files, that are correct at the time of installing the
operating system, in some fashion when it is in autoconnect mode. I
have tarballed my current configuration files in case it goes belly up
again and will compare, if this happens.
