Bug description:
  I am trying to create a new wireless network (particularly, with no
  encryption) with the gnome applet. However, I just get the message
  "Trying to connect to wireless network  «(null)»". Then, after a
  couple of minutes or so, it gets back to the cabled connection and no
  wireless connection is created.

  I am using Gutsy, network-manager 0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7.10.0 and network-
  manager-gnome 0.6.5-0ubuntu11~7.10.0.

  Updated description: The original reporter used ipw2200, but for that driver a bug has already been reported for this isse: Bug #75358. 
  This bug now addresses users with mac20811-based drivers, since the majority of the commenters have such cards/drivers.

  The bug has persisted in Gutsy, Hardy, Intrepid and even Jaunty RC...
