Hi,
     I have the same problem. In particular, this is what I've seen.

If I turn on my wireless router and then boot my PC, all is fine: my wireless card (USB ACER with zd1211 chipset) get the signal, the NM applet shows a nice green bar and I can surf the Internet.

The problem occurs if, for example, I take out the USB wireless card and then I plug it in again. In this case, the wireless network doesn't get configured correctly.

The interesting thing is that the fix to the problem is really easy! I have to do a simple:

$ sudo ifdown eth1
$ sudo ifup eth1

and the net is back again. I'm using Hardy with latest updates, but I have had the same problem with Gutsy.

It is a quite annoying bug. If I can help to diagnose the problem and make Ubuntu better, I'm willing to help! Let me know if you have any idea.
