I encountered this bug in Gutsy Gibbon.

When I just boot my notebook, I often see the following happen:

* 1.) Trying to connect to WLAN, but then I'm being asked for the WPA Key, 
although this key is already stored in the key chain.
In the logfile, I see the following:
....
Dec 16 11:29:09 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1/wireless): 
access point 'DSLWLANXQRZ' is encrypted, and a key exists.  No new key needed.
....
Dec 16 11:29:36 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1/wireless): 
disconnected during association, asking for new key. 
Dec 16 11:29:36 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1) New 
wireless user key requested for network 'DSLWLANXQRZ'. 
....

* 2.) I cancel the dialog asking me for a new key.
...
Dec 16 11:30:26 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1) New 
wireless user key request for network 'DSLWLANXQRZ' was canceled.
...

* 3.) I try again to connect to the network. For some milliseconds I think it 
is now working, but then again I am disconnected. For some reason 
NetworkManager thinks the connection is no longer valid???
....
Dec 16 11:30:29 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1/wireless): 
access point 'DSLWLANXQRZ' is encrypted, and a key exists.  No new key needed.
...
Dec 16 11:30:50 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1/wireless) 
Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) successful.  Connected to access point 
'DSLWLANXQRZ'. 
....
Dec 16 11:31:07 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth1) 
successful, device activated. 
Dec 16 11:31:07 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <debug> [1197801067.245940] 
nm_dbus_signal_filter(): NetworkManagerInfo triggered update of wireless 
network 'DSLWLANXQRZ' 
Dec 16 11:31:07 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  SWITCH: terminating current 
connection 'eth1' because it's no longer valid. 
Dec 16 11:31:07 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  Deactivating device eth1. 
Dec 16 11:31:08 jens-laptop NetworkManager: nm_device_is_802_3_ethernet: 
assertion `dev != NULL' failed
Dec 16 11:31:08 jens-laptop NetworkManager: nm_device_is_802_11_wireless: 
assertion `dev != NULL' failed

* 4.) Again I force the NetworkManager to connect to my WLAN, and now
everything works fine.

Network Manager is using the following driver on my notebook.
Dec 16 11:28:38 jens-laptop NetworkManager: <info>  eth1: Device is 
fully-supported using driver 'ipw3945'. 

Find attached the complete log of NetworkManager.
