Mmm, curious, I've just upgraded an old laptop (pentium III) from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 (LTS), and I've experienced the same problem (or very very similar). And I was using the same network driver, I think (I was upgrading usiing a usb-wifi antenna which also uses this zydas driver.
On the contrary, as far as I remember, I upgraded another (newer) laptop months ago from 8.04 to 8.10, using the same usb-wifi antenna, and it went smooth. However, since 8.04 is the Long Term support, I would imagine that it would interesting to fix network manager in 8.04 if there is a bug somewhere.... If you want me to provide any file from this recently upgraded system, please tell me clear instructions on what to send, since I'm not that advanced gnu/linux user. And thanks for helping to have this nice distro and apps. uptodate.
