I have a very similar problem with today's updates; but I'm using the ipw2200 driver.

Since the latest updates, network manager cannot connect to my wireless network anymore. But if I manually configure my network using network-admin, wireless works.

Same problem with Kubuntu after upgrade to beta. I'm using iwl3945 driver.
Additionally last upgrades causes constant high CPU usage by NetworkManager.
If network is configured manually everything seems work fine (except NetworkManager process).

Same here, Intel Core 2 Duo with iwl3945 driver. On attempting to associate, NetworkManager hogs CPU. Killing network manager, removing and re-adding the iwl3945 module and restarting NetworkManager doesn't work. Using Kubuntu Hardy, network-manager version 0.6.6-0ubuntu2, linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-12-generic version 2.6.24-12.17.
