Last week, I was back at my friends place, where I happened to be when I
originally upgraded to Feisty and reported this bug.  I was surprised
that Network-Manager immediately connected to the router there with no
problems (without nm-applet running).  I happily used my laptop for
several days.  At this location there were no other networks of any
strength within range.  I returned home, and tried to connect with my
own router.  No luck.  It wouldn't connect to my router, but sometimes
connected to the commercial wireless network in this area (Atria
Networks).  They use a web based login and are only free at the local
libraries.  Thinking that maybe the router was a problem, I changed  to
a Netgear router that I happened to have.  Still no luck.  Anyhow, after
a couple of hours of fiddling today, I finally removed Network-Manager
from my system and configured /etc/network/interfaces in the normal
manner.  I now can connect with no problem.  It is clear to me that
Network-Manager is alpha quality software that is not ready to be
included in a stable release of Ubuntu.
