if downgrading alone only networkmanager this tells me that you either didn't do a full update your something is wrong with libnl in your system.

I use a macbook pro 5.1 and everything is working fine here.

I experienced the same issue yesterday on the same laptop. I unloaded the wl module, restarted the netowrkmanager service and reloaded the module, and everything started working again. Maybe reloading the module is enough, I didn't investigate further, but dealing with proprietary software tends to lead to breakage...
