I have the same kind of problem on a MacBook Pro.

With edgy, all is ok. Network Manager handle perfectly the wired and wireless connections, even with WPA. :)

Now, because I have some problems to do recording with the microphone, I'm trying to use the feisty kernel with the edgy installation. So, I updated kernel to the last feisty kernel (package linux-image-2.6.20-12-generic, version 2.6.20-12.20) and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-12-generic (version 2.6.20.3-12.11) for the ath_pci wireless card.

Just updating the kernel cause the Network Manager no more working. It says in the try "No network devices have been found".

Now, I have the two kernels installed, so:

- if I boot with edgy standard kernel 2.6.17-11-generic (from package version 2.6.17.1-11.35), Network Manager works correctly,

- if I boot the same installation with the feisty kernel 2.6.20-12-generic, Network Manager just says "No network devices have been found".

I will be happy to make more tests if needed.
