Public bug reported:

Using NetworkManager under Gnome on ubuntu 8.04, 
I can no longer connect my intel 3945 wireless modem in my Dell D820 to my 
WRT54GX2 wireless access point.
Both the WAP and the wireless modem in my computer can talk to other computers 
and WAPs, 
and the WAP and the wireless modem can talk to each other in Windows XP.

The problem does not depend on encryption.

Analysis of packets with kismet indicates that during association, 
the 3945 under NetworkManager control sends its frequencies in the order:

intel3945 to cisco: 
supported rates: 6.0 9.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0
extended supported rates: 1.0 2.0 5.5 11.0

The WAP responds:

cisco to intel3945:
denied due to requesting station not supporting all of the datarates in the 
BSSBasicServiceSet Parameter (0x0012)
supported rates: 1.0(B) 2.0(B) 5.5(B) 11.0(B)
extended supported rates: 6.0(B) 9.0 12.0(B) 18.0 24.0(B) 36.0 48.0 54.0

The supported rates are the same, but out of sequence. This causes some
WAPs to hiccup.

I submitted related information to bug #211780.
