KNetwork Manager is screwed at start-up, so I just have to live  waking up wlan0 with the traditional ifup for the meantime every boot up. This is one of those deals we get for making proprietary stuff forked to work with our favorite OS.
BTW the wireless router is not encrypted, its owned by my landlord:)

its BCM pci-wlan comes with proprietary driver. However, following the steps by this link
howto which is pretty straight forward wlan is now working and I used the KNetwork Manager
to monitor my connection.
