Actually, the driver for the card creates two network interfaces wlan0 and 
wmaster0. From the command line I use wlan0 to connect to networks, and 
wmaster0 seems kinda weird - I'd suppose it's an interface for setting up APs, 
but iwconfig doesn't even show mode for the interface (wlan0 is managed).
This is what I get:

wmaster0  IEEE 802.11g  Frequency:2.412 GHz  
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B   
          
wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:""  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B   
          Encryption key:off

So I guess wmaster0 is insignificant, but just so you know...
And the other weird thing is there is no entry for my wlan0 card in the 
/proc/net/wireless file.
The ath0 interface listed in the file is a different card (atheros) which works 
well with nm.
Ok enough talking :-)
Here goes wlan0.log...
