NetworkManager hangs on "Configuring device"



Hello.

I just submitted a bug report that I could not find. I'm evaluating laptop 
machines for my school that will work well with Linux. Currently I'm trying 
out the Dell D630 and it seems to work like a charm with one major exception. 
NetworkManager hangs at 28% (Configuring device) when I try to connect to our 
WEP protected wireless network.

The bug report is here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528962

I also attached a comment pointing towards two reports of what I believe is 
the same bug in the bug repositories of Ubuntu and KDE. I think this is a 
NetworkManager issue and since I couldn't find anything like this for 
NetworkManager I decided to issue it.

So my question is simple: Does anybody know why this is happening and if there 
is a workaround? I would very much like to recommend using the D630 and 
(K)Ubuntu as an official "Linux on the laptop" setup here but this is a 
complete show stopper for that.

Kind regards, Stefan Freyr.
