Hi,

Background: I still don't have time to dive into the whole wireless
networking thing, so I'm using (an older version of) Ubuntu for my
wireless networking.

You really should make time. It's very easy on Debian Squeeze rather
than on some unspecified version of another OS.

Problem: Strange to me is that, whenever I switch away from gnome, to
console or to my normal VM on anther VT, the wireless network disappears.

This is either your imagination of your setup. No details - so its hard
to say.

Is this the normal behaviour of network-manager? How can I get wireless
network for the machine, not for the gnome desktop alone?

No it isn't.
