Bug description:
  I filed this as a bug to network manager first (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/971628). Using standard network-manager nm-tool (and subsequently all tools built upon nm) reports
  - Device: eth1  [SERVANTS-WLAN] ------------------------------------------------
    Type:              802.11 WiFi
    Driver:            ipw2200
    State:             connected
    Default:           yes
    HW Address:        <whatever>

    Capabilities:

    Wireless Properties

    Wireless Access Points

  Apr  4 11:28:57 Marias-NB NetworkManager[1053]: <info> (eth1): using nl80211 for WiFi device control
  (Note: the NB is connected becaus I configured the connection once, but I couldn't create a new one.)

  If I persude nm to use wext nm-tool reports:

  - Device: eth1  [SERVANTS-WLAN] ------------------------------------------------
    Type:              802.11 WiFi
    Driver:            ipw2200
    State:             connected
    Default:           yes
    HW Address:        <whatever>

    Capabilities:
      Speed:           24 Mb/s

    Wireless Properties
      WEP Encryption:  yes
      WPA Encryption:  yes
      WPA2 Encryption: yes

  Apr  4 11:01:59 Marias-NB NetworkManager[851]: <info> (eth1): using WEXT for WiFi device control
  And that's how I configured the connection in the first place.

  Perhaps this could be fixed just by disabling nl80211 in ipw2200?
