Mine is the iwlagn driver; i don't know whether that's just an older
version of the same thing, or a completely different driver.  Perhaps
your issue is actually with the card/driver rather than NetworkManager.
Regardless, i suggest looking for a wireless-specific mailing list to
ask your question.

Good luck!
