If you choose "Connect to other wireless network..." from the applet 
menu - does it display any of the WPA options? Running nm-tool should 
also show what WPA options NM thinks the card supports.

I believe NM gets this information from the drivers - so it could be an 
issue there. What hardware do you have?
