"On some distributions (e.g., Debian) dhclient scripts do an ifconfig down/up before trying to get an IP which causes the driver to disassociate. Add iface eth1 inet dhcp to your /etc/networking/interfaces and bring up the interface with ifup eth1."
Could driver-specific quirks such as mentioned above cause Network Manager to fail associating? Again, I tried Tim Gardner's proposed fix and it didn't help, the network will only associate if I manually uncheck "Enable wireless" and recheck it via the applet.
