Did you try wicd?  I read about it on this list for a while now and never 
needed it until yesterday.  I have a new build with a wireless PCI card that 
was advertised to work out of the box in Ubuntu.  Network Manager couldn't 
even find it.  I installed wicd and it magically worked at full strength.
	sudo apt-get install wicd
