I forgot to mention that iwconfig seems to have an issue with my card as
well.
$ iwconfig eth1 essid <my network>
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not permitted.

Title:
WIreless network device not managed
Status in “gnome-nettool” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've just installed the 12.04 Beta 1 on a Asus EeePC 1005 PE using
the alternate cd. However, I can't connect to any wireless networks
using the GUI. When I right-click on the network icon on the titlebar,
the option under "Wireless Networks" is greyed out and says "device is
not managed".
I am successfully able to scan for networks using "sudo iwlist scan".
Here is my output
sudo lshw -C network

happened when installing from alternate cd.
