What version of NetworkManager are you using?

Also, try to stop NetworkManager, then (as root) run
"/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon" and grab it's output, and mail it
here.  That will let us know where it's hanging and/or having problems.

Note that the zd1211 driver is fairly immature and likely won't work
correctly with NetworkManager and/or wpa_supplicant for a while yet.  It
is, however, under active development and should become quite workable
fairly soon.
