Have just set up a couple of test WPA networks here, and when I click on 
a new one, it picks up the settings and presents the appropriate config 
dialog automatically - either WPA-PSK or WPA-Enterprise.

"Connect to other wireless network" gives me the whole range from WEP->WPA2.

"Create new wireless network" gives me just WEP->WPA1. This seems sane 
as a WPA2 ad-hoc network doesn't make sense.

I think your driver must be reporting the WPA support, else you wouldn't 
see those choices in "Connect to other..", but afraid I have no idea why 
it's not giving you the right options when you try to connect..

(Btw, am using NM 0.6.2 with an ipw3945 here).

HTH,
Jon.
