Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.6-3
Severity: important

Recently I upgraded my WRT54G router to X-Wrt and enabled WPA2 keeping
the same SSID it has before the upgrade.

network-manager (NM) was not able to connect, and in the passphrase
dialog WPA was listed but no WPA2. After a lot of tries and NM
restarts I decided to change the router to WPA+WPA2(PSK) mode and NM
worked, but in WPA mode.

Then I changed it back to WPA2 and NM wasn't able to connect and the
passphrase dialog was not longer shown, so I decided to stop NM then
erase all the stored passwords for my SSID using Seahorse
(Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encription Keys in Gnome).
When I restarted NM and tried to connect the passphrase dialog now had
the WPA2 option selected by default, I entered the passphrase and it
is working now.
