ipw3945 fails to associate



Hi,

My system: Asus Aspire 5570 laptop with ipw3945 wireless card. Using
Fedora Core 6 I can't make NetworkManager to associate to either
encrypted or unencrypted wireless access points. Using a terminal and
iwconfg at the same location associates instantly and dhclient works
fine. NetworkManager in the same laptop, same access point but using
Ubuntu works perfectly. I would like to get FC6 to work bcause it's
the distro I want to use. This are the logs I get in /var/log/messages

The only changes I've done to the network configuration was to disable
IPv6 following this guide
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc6.html#ipv6

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know what extra
information should I provide.

Hector
