Impossible to connect to any wireless network

[Diego González <dggonz gmail com>]

hi

i have installed wpa 0.5.1 (downloaded the tarball and compiled it)
with this options:

CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y
CONFIG_EAP_MD5=y
CONFIG_EAP_MSCHAPV2=y
CONFIG_EAP_TLS=y
CONFIG_EAP_PEAP=y
CONFIG_EAP_TTLS=y
CONFIG_EAP_GTC=y
CONFIG_EAP_OTP=y
CONFIG_EAP_SIM=y
CONFIG_EAP_AKA=y
CONFIG_EAP_PSK=y
CONFIG_EAP_PAX=y
CONFIG_EAP_LEAP=y
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXTENSION=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_WEXT=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW=y
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=unix

Before starting NetworkManager i start wpa_supplicant like this:
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -i eth1 -D wext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

My configuration file is:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
        ssid="example open network"
        key_mgmt=NONE
}

Then i start NetworManager i don't get any error or warning (i have a
laptop with a tg3 and a ipw2200 wireless intreface) the tg3 works
without a hitch with NEtworkManager, but the wireless interface cannot
even detect the wireless networks. iwlist from the command line works
just fine.

I have dhcpdb and dhcp3 from ubuntu with their dbus patches and everything.

if i do a ifup eth1 it works just fine. But NM does not work with my
wireless interface for some reason.

When starting nm-applet i get this on the console:

** (nm-applet:638): WARNING **: <WARNING>       
nmwa_dbus_device_get_driver_cb (): nmwa_dbus_device_get_driver_cb():

I don't know what else to do. I have tried a bunch of things before
posting this message.

Thanks a lot
