So, can you open a terminal window and run the command "watch -n 1 iwconfig eth1" and see what NM is trying to do? This log indicates that when trying to connect to the access point, NM is not able to get a stable connection long enough. It checks to see that the "Access Point" field that iwconfig lists is a valid MAC address for at least 2 or 3 seconds before continuing with the connection. Sometimes cards (like the prism54) are stupid and require properties to be set in a particular order to get the card to work. One more question, what brand of access point do you have? > I am also noticing that when you stop NetworkManager, it doesn't stop > the network quite correctly.

Can you post the results of an 'iwconfig eth1' and an 'ifconfig eth1' after you have stopped NM? Thanks!
