I am also now in the same boat after dist-upgrade. Thinkpad T60 with ipw3945.

pissboy@dsr:~$ apt-cache show linux-image-2.6.22-9-generic \
   network-manager knetworkmanager | egrep '^Ver|^Pack'
Package: linux-image-2.6.22-9-generic
Version: 2.6.22-9.21
Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.5-0ubuntu7
Package: knetworkmanager
Version: 1:0.2~r686534-0ubuntu1

WEP networks connect fine, have to use the kill switch trick on open ones.

Additionally, KNetworkManager is now acting funny, the first time I try to
select a network after login, I have to tell it to connect to a particular
network twice, the first time I select it, the icon just blinks at me and
then continues doing whatever it was doing (either automatically connecting
to some network I'm not interested in, or sitting there disconnected).
Obviously this may be a separate bug, but thought I'd throw it out there.
