Can you provide the output for your AP of 'iwlist <interface> scan'
where <interface> is eth1, wlan0, or whatever?  That's necessary to
answer your question.  It might be that your network is actually Dynamic
WEP, which may mean it doesn't broadcast capabilities in the beacon like
WPA networks do, and therefore NM has no way of knowing what type it is.
