Hi Peter,

I have a Netgear WG511v1 with the isl3880 chipset that uses the prism54
driver natively. I too had no problem with this card until upgrading to
Feisty on 2007-04-05. I clicked around with network-manager for a bit
and got to the System | Administration |Network dialog. This showed two
wireless devices although I only have the one prism54 card. wmaster0 was
selected and wlan0 was not. I swapped it so that wlan0 was enabled.
network-manager then showed me my home wireless network when I left
clicked on the network-manager icon. I clicked to join the wireless
network and it appeared not to be working. When I hovered over the
network-manager icon it said something similar to "waiting to reteive
key". What was hidden from me at the time due to a compiz bug was that
network-manager had spawned a window asking me to enter the WEP key to
join the network. A few alt-tab's later and I had input the key and
joined the network. I hope this helps.

I have not rebooted this machine and I had to remove and replace the
PCMCIA card before the driver would load properly. I did this before all
the network-manager "fun". dmesg was showing this when I first booted
the machine.
