WPA authentication instead of Open/WEP

Hi,

I am trying to connect to my office network which has a Open
Authentication/WEP encryption wireless network [This part is confirmed
by settings on a windows machine]. When I select the network from the
displayed list, I get the WPA Authentication box[Getting.png]. I am
expecting the Open/WEP box for which I have the key. I had mailed on
this list earlier, was advised to look at the wpa_supplicant logs.
What I noticed was the wpa_supplicant part starts after I enter some
values in the box and press "Connect". I have below the snip of
/var/log/messages from the point I clicked on the wireless network
name till I cancelled it. I could not find why it asks for WPA
authentication :(

Note: I tried on two other networks that have confirmed WEP, and NM
works as expected. This is the only network I am having problems on.
Can there be something I am missing or different in the network
configuration?

I tried connecting through the "Connect to other wireless network.."
option but still could not connect. I tried cheating by manually
creating the folder under .gconf/..../networks by copying %gconf.xml
from other WEP network and modifying the bssid parameter. No luck! It
still pops up the WPA box on login.

Running:
FC5 [2.6.17-1.2187_FC5]
NetworkManager 0.6
Broadcom wireless card

Can somebody tell me what's wrong?
