Getting dscape running

I'd like to get a basic connection working on my system so that I can
check out the dscape stack and do some work on it. I am targeting an
embedded system using USB dongles but right now I am working on my
desktop. Hopefully this new list can provide the guidance that I need.

I have NetworkManager from CVS and the current version of
wpa_supplicant running. Hardware is a rt2570 dongle using the dscape
stack. OS is Ubuntu.

When I use NetworkManager to switch to the wireless device it fails.
It says the access point is unencrypted when it is running actually
WEP. The problem is probably caused by the NULL gobject reference.
What's causing this?
