Please remove ra0 from /etc/network/interfaces if you want it to be
controlled and configured by NetworkManager.

Title:
  Network Manager cannot configure Belkin network interface.

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am using a Belkin device

  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 050d:935b Belkin Components

  I have successfully compiled the kernel module
  "DPO_RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.2_20100412" against 2.6.38-11 kernel
  version (Ubuntu 11.04) and thus my network interface ra0 is up.

  I believe I have configured the inferface properly in
  /etc/network/interfaces:

  auto ra0
  iface ra0 inet dhcp
  wpa-driver wext
  wpa-ssid MYSSID
  wpa-ap-scan 1
  wpa-proto RSN
  wpa-pairwise CCMP
  wpa-group CCMP
  wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
  wpa-psk MYPSK

  since stopping network-manager and doing ifdown ra0 / ifup ra0 gives
  me a rock stable connection.

  However, with Network Manager applet there are three behaviors :

  a) either it keeps asking me for password, tries out for about 15 seconds and then it fails and asks me again for the password. This happens after reboot.
  b) or connects to a IP address which I don't have on my lan: inet addr:10.42.43.1. This happens after "ifdown ra0" and starting network manager.
  c) manages to connect, but it disconnects about 11 seconds, and starts asking for password (again, after reboot).

  I believe this is a network-manager bug, since on version 10.10 that I
  upgraded from yesterday everything worked with the same driver /
  configuration (But compiled for kernel 2.6.35-28).

  One more thing, I had to change NetworkManager.conf to managed=true, otherwise the applet did not report any WiFi connections and showed a greyed out icon with an exclamation mark. 
  On version 10.10 I think I was running with managed=true, since I don't remember having to change that file to get WiFi to work.
