I can confirm that the instructions in comment #15 solved the problem for me. Prior to that, Network Manager could see wireless networks, but could not connect to any of them (open or password-protected). After making the changes suggested in Comment #15 and rebooting, I was able to establish a wireless connection.
The device or driver does seem a little flaky, having dropped the connection from time to time, so the driver is far from perfect.
But at least the above gets some wireless connectivity.
