| These are the results you get on the older kernel without the commit
| we're all talking about here?

 I have been testing on the kernel with working wireless,
specifically Fedora 11's 2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11 kernel.

 I have to amend my testing results, however. I have now managed to get
the network live with iwconfig, not NetworkManager, and when I do this
and do 'iwconfig eth1 essid ANY key off', I actually see *multiple*
APs with 'iwlist scan' if I catch it at the right time. (In fact, I
sometimes associate with an unprotected network in range.)

(There is only one good network in range, which is ours, but I'm on
the edge of a number that sometimes show up in normal scan output and
sometimes don't.)

 So this doesn't match the behavior you were seeing with your old kernel
and machine.
