NetworkManager fails to connect

["Rene Rask" <rene grain dk>]

Hi list

I reported some problems a while ago. Now I'm in a situation where NM is
stuck again.

I'm using an ipw2200 on an IBM X40 running Fedora Core 4 with kernel
2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 and NetworkManager-0.4-20.FC4.1.
Ipw2200 driver version is 1.0 and firmware is 2.2.

Any suggestions for figuring out why NM suddenly stops being able to
contact the access point?
This problem pops up from time to time. I'm pretty sure that deleting the
entry for "duck" in gconf will make it go away, but this is getting
tiresome and needs to be fixed properly.

The output from NetworkManager --no-daemon is attached

Thanks
Rene
