I've never made anything work the way I want with NetworkManager, so
these days the first thing I do on an Ubuntu system is install wicd,
which seems to do something much closer to what I want.   It might be
worth trying -- it's certainly easier than fiddling with command line
wireless configuration.

give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in
judgment.
