These aren't the latest updates, you probably want the newest bits and the newest kernel at least. But they won't help your problem. > On a different system, as you know, I've built NM and nm-applet from source > (with your latest alterations).

That's most definitely a HAL/kernel issue. What kernel version do you have installed? Can you mail me the output of 'lshal' and 'iwconfig' from the command line?
