I don't really understand the issue here. It says: "It appears to be detected
and
the module is loaded but the interface goes down when it's handed over to
NetworkManager." but that's what NetworkManager does with all the devices on
startup to make sure it knows the exact state of the system. There's also a
couple of attached snippets of /var/log/NetworkManager but none of these
contain any errors from wireless device activation.
NetworkManager doesn't drive the wireless devices directly, everything goes
through wpa_supplicant which requires device drivers to implement wext
(wireless extensions) interface. If your card's driver doesn't do that, or does
it incorrectly, you won't be able to use NetworkManager.
