Description of problem:
Though wlan0 is brought up normally, it seems to be unable to find or scan for
any network. If I try to connect to known ESSIDs, it does nothing. When I try to
disable and reactivate wireless in NetworkManager, I get this output in
/var/log/messages:
Aug  1 15:40:11 sincity NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): device state change: 3
-> 2
Aug  1 15:40:11 sincity NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): deactivating device.
Aug  1 15:40:11 sincity NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): taking down device.
Aug  1 15:40:18 sincity NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): bringing up device.

Aug  1 15:40:18 sincity NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): device state change: 2

With the kernel from the install dvd, version 2.6.25-14 , it all worked like a
charm, but not with 2.6.25.10-86 and 2.6.25.11-97
