This might have nothing to do with the problems you reported. But here it is anyway:

Some seconds after running /usr/sbin/NetworkManager my system most times freezed (If it didn't freeze now then everything works fine after that including wireless networking) and after one minute started printing:
BUG: soft lock - CPU #0 stuck for 61s! [ntdriver:2807]

On my setup this usually happened during start up. The call to NetworkManager returned and the freeze happened during starting X when the screen was blank and I could not see any messages and could not return to console. -> I have been trying to fix my X setup for days, installing and compiling different drivers and patches and reconfiguring xorg.conf endlessly. Please don't do that if the problem is elsewhere ;) I will try to live with dhclient for now.

My configuration:

Ubuntu 8.10 (2.6.27-11-generic kernel)
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo La1703 laptop (AMD Mobile Sempron CPU)
The WLAN driver is the Windows XP driver inside NDISWrapper
