  As I mentioned before the WiFi card is recognized and the drivers are automatically installed:

eeprom_93cx6 12653 1 rt2800pci
parport 36746 3 parport_pc,ppdev,lp

    Moreover, the wireless networks are correctly listed by "iwlist scanning", including my own access point.

    In Windows XP, the wireless conenction works without any problems using the same hardware (same network card and same access point).

   All these lead me to believe that the fault lies with the applet "Network Connections".

  Any help will be appreciated.
