NetworkManagerInfo not finding rt2400 Wireless PCMCIA card (which is active)

[Rodd Clarkson]

When I run NetworkManagerInfo I get:

[rodd at clownfish tmp]$ NetworkManagerInfo
[rodd at clownfish tmp]$ nmwa_dbus_get_string(): org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.NoActiveDevice raised:
 There is no currently active device.

I have an active wireless network connection going using a Wireless
PCMCIA card based on the rt2400 (see: rt2400.sourceforge.net) which uses
a GPL driver.

/sbin/ifconfig shows:

Is this a bug, or does someone need to know a little about my wireless
card (which I understand is quite common due to it's cheap nature) to
get it to be recognized.

I'll await advice on what course of action to take.
