What chipset are you using? How is your network configured? is it wpa?
what kind of wpa? hidden ssids?

Chipset is an Intel 3945 ABG device. The kernel uses the ipw3945
driver. Machine is a Lenovo 3000 N100 0768 model with a Core 2 Duo
processor - so I'm running SMP and the 'amd64' architecture.

Network is a single AP - Vigor 2800VG operating in 802.11g mode, and
works fine with a Feisty installation.

Security is WPA-PSK only in mixed WPA+WPA2 mode. SSID is not hidden.
Device fails to associate even with security turned off.

Essentially on boot up the machine gets stuck in Stage 2, with 'eth1
time-out' errors in the daemon log (with security), or 'device took
too long to associate' (without security).

Device is switched on, and the transmission light does flicker.

After failure, tried to switch to do a manual 'connect to other
wireless network' and network manager has crashed with a SEGV.
Reporting as a separate problem.
