Can't seem to connect to a WLAN using ipw3945abg and networkmanager

Hello, everyone!

I had previously installed Arch Linux on my nice Compaq Presario v3020US laptop. I managed to get my wireless card working under it. Now, I had come back to using Arch Linux (love it by the way), but now, I can't seem to get my wireless card to work. My laptop uses the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (ipw3945), and I would like to use KNetworkManager with it. I have Internet access via Ethernet, but I find that annoying. I really can only connect through wireless most of the time. If it helps, I did not use NetworkManger to connect to the Internet wirelessly previously. I had used a configuration file. If I have to, I'll go back to that. But I can't figure out how to get that to work anymore. Why do I have such a poor memory?

It took me two days, but now I have the forums as my last resort before I tear my hair out. (Okay, I won't tear my hair out... )

Thanks for your attention,
