100% confirmed bug, affect my system running ndiswrapper 1.34, Dell wireless 1500 and Kubuntu 7.04. As a workaround you can try to connect to another wireless network (WEP enabled) and then when it gets past 50% on that try, try again to access your desired network. For me this works.

TERRIBLE QUALITY CONTROL KDE PPL. Knetworkmanager SHOULD !!!!!!NOT!!!!! have been released. Shame as it completely RUINS the kde experience. Not to mention it ALSO unistalls the only WORKING wlan util, wlanassistant. This is one of the primary reasons linux will never become mainstream, a pure lack of quality control. How could you expect anyone to run this product when a feature 98% of new users will use is flat BROKEN??? If this simple type of issue can't be fixed I can only imagine when the battery life situation will improve (read: windows = 100% more battery life than nix :( )
