You do have a laptop using iwl3945 and it does associate dependably to a router, using a WEP key, with NetworkManager? You can go between environments and the system can get an IP number with NM? Can you point me at docs on debugging? I saw, with my own eyes, that NM could join a nonsecured network when I wrote you this morning. But I came home and failed. When NetworkManager tries to join my WEP network, I see the same old blubber (pasted in a load of crap below). I let NM try several times (I was clicking on nm-applet to make it try again). Then I restarted without NM and system-config-network was able to join the network. I do not have any WPA networks and have never configured the WPA framework on this laptop. Could that be causing my trouble?
