It should only be set to 2 when:

	 * - The wireless network is non-broadcast or Ad-Hoc
	 * - The wireless driver does not support WPA (stupid drivers...)

in your case, since the net is hidden, NM will do what wpa_supplicant
suggests, and set ap_scan=2.  There's a note in the wpa_supplicant
config file that says that if you're using ap_scan=2 then you _MUST_
match the pairwise and group cipher parameters to exactly what the AP is
set to.  That's the bit NM doesn't allow you to set right now, which
will change in 0.7.  So if your AP isn't set to "TKIP CCMP" for both of
those then it may not work with NM.
