FWIW I just tried NetworkManager with my WPA network for the first time in a while and it did a great job on iwl3945 from kernel 2.6.23-0.74.rc2.git1.fc8. This is also mac80211-based so I would definitely try it. I started the NetworkManager service and ran nm-tool as my normal user. Very nice! It did not overwrite my old /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf either.
