I see what I believe is the same bug on a toshiba satellite 2435 (toshiba card). orinoco driver.

More details: nm-applet loads and appears in menu bar. I can select from the menu my wireless network. I am prompted for the wep key (mine is hexidecimal). I enter it. The icon animates the circling-arrows animation for some period of time, and then stops animating without an error message. No network is actually established.

If I uninstall network-manager, or simply put a fixed configuration in the /etc/network/interfaces file, I can connect to the network successfully.

If I start network-manager manually in no-daemon mode, I get no error during program launch, network selection, or the "typing in the wep key" process.

Then:

ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODE]: Invalid argument
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported

(repeats three times)

ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
...

I'll try to post an actual log file later.
