Network Manager is getting wirse. It now randomly does things like:
offering a wireless connection when there is a wired connection (both defined as dhcp)
after requesting a WPA/WPA2 key, never connecting
ignoring DNS (in /etc/resolv.conf) but not allowing them in Network Manager applet
not picking up connection if it's static ip.

Under Gutsy, I also had wireless problem using Edimax usb wireless dongle. Way round it was to use wicd. However, I was not able to return to using NM after upgrade to Hardy. Had to clean install Hardy. Therfore, I do not want to repeat this performance under Ibex (i.e. going to wicd but not able to return to NM when upgrading to 9.04 release).
