NM does not connect on kubuntu 6.10

["Jay Strauss" <me heyjay com>]

Hi,

NM will not connect to my network while running a fresh Kubuntu 6.10
(Edgy Eft) on a
IBM thinkpad A30.  It contains a prism 2.5 chip.  I installed
hostap-utils, and knetworkmanager.  I have a wpa2 access point at
home.

I'm using the "other networks" due to an issue I'm having in another thread.

It gets to the point of configuring the device, but never gets past.
I'll post outputs of whatever you ask, just tell me what you want :)

I'm not sure of the version of NM on my 6.10 install because I'm
writing this from my 6.06 install.

thanks
Jay
