Ok, I think I found part of the problem... it was blacklisted for some
reason, so I removed the blacklisted rt2xxxx config file and now it is
loaded on reboot.
But NetworkManager is not listing my AP base station.
Here is what I got so far:
# lsmod | grep rt

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
Since my AP base station appears no where on NM, I attempted
to create a new wireless connection. Once I did, NM-applet
spun it's wheels while the log messages spewed out messages
below, but what interested me is the messageL "ap_scan to 1"
and it keeps on trying to open channel 1, and yet my base AP
is on channel 9 - so at this point I will try to find out what the
configuration filename is and any options to set this, it that is
even possible... anyway here is the system log messages:
