I did different. I use aptitude to uninstall NetworkManage and install
wicd instead. Works fine. All the configuration I have to do is to
use wicd's user interface to tell it which SSID's to connect to with
which passwords. SOmetimes I have to manually choose an SSID when it
has too mny to choose between itself.
