Bug Description
When I login to the gnome session, nm applet starts connecting (with this "rolling" icon). It takes ages to connect. It asks for WEP key many times - gives no error, just (nearly) eternal loop: "ask for key" - "rolling icon" - "ask for key" ... Sometimes it manages to connect (after many many attempts). It definitely sees my network (I see it in the list of available WLANs).
The kernel module is Intel's ipw3945. ipw3945d loads without errors
Vista on the same machine connects without any problem.

Same over here. Travelmate 291LCi - ipw 2200 - highly frustrating - says a Ubuntu Newbie - Is there hope in (Linux) life?
