I'm having the same problem with a fresh installation of Xubuntu 8.04.

Using ndiswrapper for and USB adaptor (D-link DWA-110), I have no problem connection to a WPA protected wireless network. But after reboot, it does not reconnect automatically (I've notice that the USB adaptor blinks constantly as if it were trying to establish connection), instead I have to manually re-edit the wifi-network-configuration.

As mentioned in some other bug-report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/209026), the saved password that appears under the configuration just before I re-edit it looks much longer than the original paraphrase (19 characters long).

I haven't test this computer under a WEP protected network to see if the same problem occurs, but alike bugs-reported have only mentioned WPA problems.

By the way, I'm using a Toshiba Satellite 1000-S157, with an Intel Celeron (TM) of 1066Mhz, 512 Mb of RAM with and up-to-date Xubuntu under kernel 2.6.24-18-generic.
