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...
