This seems to be an error in KNetworkManager, and it could be causing
the issues you describe...  It seems liek the issue is that after you
enter your network information, the GUI client doesnt' correctly send it
to NetworkManager.

  Thanks a lot for the hint.

I've switched to the gnome desktop and now my wireless network can beactivated.Unfortunately, however, is still something wrong because although Iset correctly mypassphrase for WPA & WPA2 Personal, my wireless network remainsunavailable,

  see the attached log-file of NetworkManager, for example.
