I'm using ipw2200, and I observed this in both Hardy and Intrepid (The original report is against Hardy).

How exactly is that a driver issue ?! The driver is functioning fine, its just the GNOME menu implementation that can't handle so many items.

I've seen similar behaviour in many other applications - when a menu needs to be opened where there are too many items to fit from the mouse click to the bottom of the screen, it adds scroll buttons to the menu but fails to align the initial scroll view correctly so that some, most or all of the menu visible is empty. The problem is very rare in NetworkManager as the menu always appears from the top of the screen, but with a small screen (most laptops are 1024x768) and large enough number of networks (driving around the city center will get you that) this bug can be reproduced successfully.
