Re: WPA authentication instead of Open/WEP

It looks like you are running 802.1x with dynamic 64bit wep keys.  The
iwlist you posted earlier indicates this as well:

                      Pairwise Ciphers (1) : TKIP
                      Authentication Suites (1) : 802.1X


Unfortunately it doesn't look like NM supports this configuration but
you can create a wpa_supplicant connection manually if you know the
eap type (I am guessing EAP-TLS)
