I use madwifi-ng from CVS. I have to say that when I downgraded to
NetworkManager-0.5.1-8 they have always worked, but never for later NM.
I have only now had success with later NM versions after removing the patch.

As documented in bug 180369, NetworkManager stopped connecting my
madwifi wireless card after the change from NetworkManager-0.5.1-8 to
NetworkManager-0.5.1-10. I use the CVS versions of the madwifi drivers.
I use WEP for authorization.
Today I downloaded the SRPM for NetworkManager-0.6.0-2 and removed the
special-case-madwifi.patch and built the binary. This version of NM can
connect to my madwifi card. The patch is trying to work around a WPA
problem in the madwifi drivers. My question is has the fix for WPA
broken WEP?
Are you using madwifi drivers, of the madwifi-ng drivers?
wpa_supplicant must be compiled for one or the other, and right now its
compiled for madwifi-ng. So if you're not using madwifi-ng, NM +
wpa_supplicant won't work for your card.
In general though, madwifi-ng has been _very_ touchy, with every other
revision of the drivers being pretty much useless. Not sure about the
older madwifi drivers though.
