This is the wpa_cli status, when I am connected via wpa_supplicant:

ssid=NAME
id=1
pairwise_cipher=CCMP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA2/IEEE 802.1X /EAP
wpa_state=COMPLETED
ip_address=192.168.a.b.
Supplicant PAE state=AUTHENTICATED
suppPortStatus=Authorized
EAP state=SUCCESS
selectedMethod=17 (EAP-LEAP)

When using the nm_applet GUI (0.6.5), I have the impression that I
cannot select a similar configuration.
Can I configure NetworkManager manually?
