knetworkmanager under Jaunty (updated to latest version, tested on February 20, 2009) does not connect to wireless network on Thinkpad W500. This computer has an Intel wireless card integrated:
$ lspci |grep Wireless
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5300
The wireless LED is on, knetworkmanager sees the WLAN, it is using WEP and the key entered in knetworkmanager is correct. But selecting the WLAN menu item to connect to my network fails. Using nm-applet, connecting to the network works without any problems.
Output of knetworkmanager:

This is definitely a problem of knetworkmanager, since nm-applet works flawlessly. So, my work-around is to simply use nm-applet for the moment.
I also have the same problem on my HP Pavilion laptop. Alpha 4 worked fine, but updates as of 21st Feb have broken Knetworkmanager. Can start it but cant connect to any wireless network.
