Network manager will definitely not work properly without
gnome-keyring and encrypted wireless networks.  You will have to enter
the encryption key every time you connect.

I don't know what to tell you about the inherent brokeness you claim.
I'm running everything fine without problem in Jaunty and was in Ibex
too before upgrading.  I also develop in Ubuntu.  If you discover
genuine bugs, they should be filed in launchpad to go upstream or in
GNOME's bugzilla.  Complaining in forums doesn't get anything fixed.
