I've created and attached two patches:

1) network-manager-applet (0.6.5-0ubuntu11) hardy; urgency=low
2) network-manager-applet (0.6.5-0ubuntu11) gutsy-proposed; urgency=low

The original packages in Hardy and Gutsy are identical: network-manager-applet (0.6.5-0ubuntu10) gutsy

The patch solves a SIGSEGV on x86_64 when trying to "Connect to Other Wireless Network...". The SIGSEGV was caused by a missing prototype that in turn caused an implicit function return-type of 'int' when it should have been a pointer. On a 64-bit architecture that would cause the crash when the pointer was to memory above the 32-bit boundary.

The bug prevents users selecting another wireless network.
