Stumped on NetworkManager with FC5

Hi all,

I've just done a clean install on an IBM T30 laptop using a Linksys WPC54G 
v3 pcmcia card.

I have installed the linksys driver using ndiswrapper and the module loads 
correctly and the dmesg output is correct. I have also setup 
NetworkManager to start automatically when logging into the desktop. The 
problem I am having is that when I click on the NM applet I can choose 
between wired/wireless and I can see all the WAP's around me including my 
own, but when I try to connect to any wireless network I can't connect. I 
have tried with encryption both on and off and it just fails.

If I switch to the wired connection, instant netowrk connectivity. I'm 
stumped as to why I can see all the wireless networks but not connect to 
anything? I have everything configured with DHCP and noticed a DHCP bug 
filed for NM. Could this be my problem?

Obviously the card is working as it powers up correctly and can scan 
wireless networks. Why can't I connect to any?? IDEAS??
