Thanks for you reply. On further googling, I found that similar cards
had the same problem. It seems that if one does a tcpdump in another
terminal while using NM it works. I even got the latest firmware on the
router.
what works:
tcpdump -i wlan0 host <hostname>
Then run NM and voila! I was able to connect. I wonder why the card has
to be in promiscuous mode to work?
Anyone have any thoughts?
