The mailing list for NetworkManager is networkmanager-list@gnome.org,
the website is http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/

I believe this list is about the kernel part of wireless support.  If
you track the issue to the kernel, then please post here.  Don't forget
the kernel messages and more details about the kernel.

If you want a basic connection with WEP, you can try to use iwconfig.
Please make sure to set the channel, the AP (BSSID) and the ESSID.

You can also run wpa_supplicant from the command line.  wpa_supplicant
would find the AP for you.
