Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 laptop which previously ran intrepid out of the box. In attempting to upgrade to a supported version of ubuntu, I have installed maverick.
The wireless card no longer works under Network Manager.
I have detailed my attempts to get this functioning on askubuntu.com
I have filed this bug under network-manager as according to the orinoco page on linuxwireless.org, a known issue of the driver is the necessity of using the ap_scan=2 mode when the driver is controlled via wpa_supplicant.
The card can be made to work by manually configuring wpa_supplicant config files in this way, however NM does not use these traditional config files, and so the parameter must be passed to wpa_supplicant by NM, which appears to be impossible.
Why this has evolved as a regression is not clear to me, however I'm sure someone with a better understanding of the wireless network stack could explain it.

As per the debugging network manager page on live.gnome.org, I have generated and attached below the relevant log files from networkmanager and wpa_supplicant and output of demesg and lspcmcia.
