Not with 0.6.x, unfortunately. 0.7 will allow you to specify a particular band for a specific Connection. > I doubt NM does even see the 5Ghz channels. > The card is an Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG It will see the channels, but if you have the same SSID on both bands, it's completely up to wpa_supplicant and the driver itself what band it decides to use for the association, since NM doesn't pass the channel. I'd guess that the card just reports scan results for the b/g band first, and therefore that's the BSSID that wpa_supplicant picks.
