Public bug reported: Gnome-Network-Manager and/or Wicd both list wireless networks, but I have only successfully connected twice, despite working on this problem for weeks. I've tried ndiswrapper and madwifi, and ndiswrapper got me the closest. One of the only two times I've been able to connect, I shut my wireless card down, then rebooted and voila. The other time I have no idea why it worked. With dhclient I get this:
