I looked at this thread and that thread but neither are really what's happening; and the first one deals with ndiswrapper which makes it completely irrelevant.
My problem is this: after resuming from hibernate on my IBM T43, my wireless chipset detects all the wireless networks that were previously there. There is one in particular that I usually connect to. Now that I have hibernated, I cannot connect to this network. It used to take about 10 seconds to connect, and it would even connect at boot; now I just get an endless loop of
1) try to connect...
2) display "Wireless Network Authentication Required"https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/1222
3) enter password
4) go to step 1
I do not have access to connect to the other networks so I cannot try them. I have a feeling, the would work though. I'll try when I get to work.
Oh, I should probably also mention I was connected to my preferred network when I put the notebook in hibernate.
Here's lspci...

########@Turtle43:~$ lspci | grep Network
04:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)

Looks good to me...
Restarting Network Manager does not help. Restarting the notebook does not help. This did not happen in Kubuntu 8.10--so I'm suspecting it is less Network Manager and more nm-applet.
Fortunately my AT&T wireless card still works and was a breeze to set up.
Any ideas?

SYMPTOMS: attempting connect to a WPA2 wireless AP appears to result in a loop that eventually fails; or a successful connection drops and is unable to recover while data is being transfered between an IPW2200 chipset and a wireless access point secured via WPA2.
PROBLEM: According to Intel, the power saving features of this card may present compatibility or stability issues with some wireless access points.
PROBLEM NOTES: This issue is documented on the OpenWRT wiki here and on a page for troubleshooting connection problems related to the IPW2200 in Intel's site, here. Note that both links will take you to another site.
RESOLUTION: putting the wireless card in CAM state, that is, disabling the power-saving features of the card, may resolve these symptoms.
RESOLUTION NOTES: I am currently unsure how to perminately disable the power saving features of this card, or indeed at all.
