It seems that the problem is bigger.

With network-manager I'm being given a completely bogus IP number when connected to any of the three available wireless networks. What's more weird, network-manager gives me the same IP for all three networks, despite the fact that two of them are secure and I can't connect to them in no way using normal networking tools.

The IP for all the networks is 169.254.175.36.
Broadcast address is 169.254.255.255
Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0
All the other fields are 0.0.0.0
There's also a hardware address, but that' irrelevant.

Clearly something is wrong. I'm using an D-Link DWL-650+ PCMCIA card using the acx_pci driver. It works just fine, out-of-the-box, without the network-manager.
