Details
I cannot start a 2.6.20 system with networkmanager. It
freezes the system at boot time (when networkmanager
starts). When I disable networkmanager from rc.conf, I can
start the system. When I try to start networkmanager from a
started system, it freezes the system also.

This task depends upon
are you using ndiswrapper and you have a bcm card?
I just installed archlinux on my pc, which has an atheros 5212 chipset.
I also experience the same results w/ the 2.6.20 kernel. This is being caused by the madwifi driver, this is the debug information spit as the panic happens:
[<f8a01b7b>] ieee80211_getmgtframe+0xcb/0xf0 [wlan]
[<f8a01b83>] ieee80211_getmgtframe+0xd3/0xf0 [wlan]
[<f8a01b7b>] ieee80211_getmgtframe+0xcb/0xf0 [wlan]
I went to recompile the madwifi drivers, but there is no headers (that I could find) with the testing/kernel26 package.
Thanks
