I am afraid that I have to "me too" this one.

Same setup (Feisty and intel 3945), and same results on some WEP networks.

WPA and WPA2 work without any issue.

But WEP et acting weird. My brief look at logs may point towards
authentication and association, but failures at the DHCP stage.

Going manual using the Gnome settings helps.

Now, I hope that this is not due to the Debian/Ubuntu tweaks to NM...
