Bug Description
I am trying to create a new wireless network (particularly, with no encryption) with the gnome applet. However, I just get the message "Trying to connect to wireless network «(null)»". Then, after a couple of minutes or so, it gets back to the cabled connection and no wireless connection is created.
I am using Gutsy, network-manager 0.6.5-0ubuntu16
Updated description: The original reporter used ipw2200, but for that driver a bug has already been reported for this isse: Bug #75358.
This bug now addresses users with mac20811-based drivers, since the majority of the commenters have such cards/drivers.
The bug has persisted in Gutsy, Hardy, Intrepid and even Jaunty RC...

Hi there
do you still experience this issue with the current version of the application?, could you please try to reproduce this using the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron.
Thanks in advance
