That's interesting. I have a Dell D630 with the exact same wireless
card and for me it works. I am, however, using the Development Spin
Live CD (I don't know if it's based on Test 3 or a previous version).

In my case, NetworkManager asked for the password twice then it
connected. The network is WPA2 protected.

HTH,
