Neither the latest kernel version (supplied in the last comment) nor using this version of network-manager 0.7~~svn20080121t191418+eni1-0ubuntu0~pre7 (and associated upgrades to wpasupplicant 0.6.1~git20071119-1ubuntu1~asac1 plus several libraries) made wireless work for me if it was turned off at boot. It still does not work until I do a second boot with wireless switched on.

If people want me to do more testing, please let me know whether I should test against the PPA network-manager or the Hardy version. I can only test about once every 24 hours, as tests involve rebooting my machine at least twice.
