NM does not work with iwl4965 device

[Thomas M Steenholdt <tmus tmus dk>]

Hi guys...

For some reason, NM does not seem to be able to connect properly with an 
iwl4965 device... It scans for wireless networks and finds them 
(somewhat slowly, but it gets done) and I can attempt to connect to my 
"hidden" WPA2 network. Then... nothing :-/

From the log it would seem like it's pretty close to functioning, but 
perhaps it takes more work getting this problem fixed?

I have to mention, of course, that manually setting up wpa_supplicant 
and friends, the device seems to work with no problems at all.

Thanks for any info :)

This is an exempt from the log:
