Are you using WEP? Are you creating an ad-hoc network or using an existing infrastructure network? How are you configuring the wireless settings for the boards? They won't self-assign an address automatically, and there are a few NetworkManager bits necessary for automatic ad-hoc connections at startup which is probably what people are looking for here.
