Something isn't working right with NetworkManager for me. I have both
zd1211 and rt2570 devices and neither will start automatically but I
can get the going manually.

I'll try running NetworkManager in the debugger and see if I can
figure out what is failing. NetworkManager is working ok for me on
non-dscape devices.

As for running as an AP:
rt2570 will start in Master mode
zd1211 refused to set Master mode

zd1211 has this problem too:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device wlan1 ; Invalid argument.
