It's true that kwifimanager does not work. it does not update the wireless 
key. how ever, the airport card does work with WEP encryption in open mode. 
You just have to edit /etc/network/interfaces to use it.

here's an example of what I have:

iface eth1 inet dhcp
        wireless-mode managed
        wireless-rate 11M auto 
        wireless-essid NETGEAR
        wireless-keymode open
        wireless-key1 ##########################(wireless key)
        wireless-defaultkey 1


do an ifup eth1 and you should be set.
Good luck
