Clean installed lucid ubuntu, network manager worked OOTB on several different networks. Formatted same day (June 09) and clean installed Xubuntu, only to find that NM was only working some of the time. Completely uninstalled & purged NM in favor of wicd, same problem. Weird thing is, all 3 of my tested networks are configured exactly the same as far as I remember (all are running the same hardware as well . . . unless something changed internally). Before the fix, I could only connect to one of the 3 – other 2 produced the "CF: bad password" error. After locking wicd at 1.6.whatever-is-in-karmic-universe, I'm up and running on all 3. Woo!

Worst part is, I saw that there are no planned updates to wicd at any time "in the near future." Looks as though we'll all be at 1.6 for a while yet.

Thanks Toby!
