Also check that you dont have old cruft in /usr/local/lib/
... (e.g. maybe you tried to build NM on your own once).

I think Dan got it right.  Last night I told Ubuntu to delete all the nm files and then reinstall them and the issue dissapeared.  I haven't tried to actually configure it for wireless, but that's pretty easy as I have a pretty standard card (ipw2200) and pretty normal network (WPA2).

Thanks for your help, I'll let you know for sure when I get it working.
