Wireless breaking things

My laptop is a Lenovo 3000 N100 0768-04U. My wireless works but when I have the hardware switch on and I'm connected to my router I cannot open any programs. If I want to open a program I have to turn off the wireless switch then open it. If I have the wireless off but have it connected over the wired NIC it works just fine.

I'm using NetworkManager to configure both wired and wireless NICs. My wireless card is an Intel 3945 ABG minipci card and I am using the iwilwifi-3945-unicode drivers. I'm using Gnome/Metacity.

I'm not at home right now so I'll post some config files when I get home.

Re: Wireless breaking things

Here is my /etc/rc.conf file:

# LOCALIZATION
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "UTC" or "localtime", any other value will result
#   in the hardware clock being left untouched (useful for virtualization)
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps
# CONSOLEFONT: found in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-US)
# CONSOLEMAP: found in /usr/share/kbd/consoletrans
# USECOLOR: use ANSI color sequences in startup messages
#
LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="America/Los_Angeles"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------

#
# MOD_AUTOLOAD: Allow autoloading of modules at boot and when needed
# MOD_BLACKLIST: Prevent udev from loading these modules
# MODULES: Modules to load at boot-up. Prefix with a ! to blacklist.
#
# NOTE: Use of 'MOD_BLACKLIST' is deprecated. Please use ! in the MODULES array.
#
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"

# Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
USELVM="no"

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available interfaces.
#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
#   - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
#   - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
# 
# DHCP:     Set your interface to "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
# Wireless: See network profiles below
#

#Static IP example
#eth0="dhcp"
eth0="dhcp"

Re: Wireless breaking things

Well I have isolated it to the NetworkManager daemon. I uninstalled it and replaced it with wicd to test it and the issues have gone away. I prefer NetworkManager but if it doesn't work I guess I'll have to stick with what does.
