I can confirm that with the latest updates (2.6.22-7-generic, NM 0.6.5-0ubuntu4) on a ThinkPad X60 with an IPW3945, I still get:

* Connects perfectly when using WPA, and uses eth1 as expected.

* Fails to connect when using a working open AP. Toggling kill switch on/off then always allows it to connect. Uses eth1 as expected.

Open AP runs wpa_supplicant, but gets an error:

After a kill switch toggle, I get:

and it continues OK.
