When I'm operating normally I see:

$ sudo iwpriv ath0 get_mode
Password:
ath0      get_mode:3

sudo iwconfig ath0
ath0      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"bearsden"  Nickname:"cub"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462GHz  Access Point:

When I start NetworkManager I see:

$ sudo iwpriv ath0 get_mode
ath0      get_mode:1

$ sudo iwconfig ath0
ath0      IEEE 802.11a  ESSID:""  Nickname:"cub"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:5.21GHz  Access Point:
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
          Bit Rate=6Mb/s   Tx-Power:50 dBm   Sensitivity=0/3
          Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=31/94  Signal level=-64 dBm  Noise level=-95 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:16  Invalid misc:16   Missed beacon:0

When I stop NetworkManager and run 'ifup ath0' everything gets straight
again.
