I filed this bug for WEP, not WPA2. This should work in the final
release, especially since it worked before. In my tests, the new network
manager can't connect to ANYTHING that takes a password, it's completely
useless in every regard. I hope that it's removed at the last minute
altogether or fixed, having a non-working network manager by default in
a stable release doesn't strike me as making sense.
