knetworkmanager doesn't select right security for wi-fi

[Jason Straight]

Binary package hint: plasma-widget-networkmanagement

When connecting to a WPA access point knetworkmanager fails to automatically select the proper security method on the configuration page, as the gnome nm-applet does do correctly.

It always shows WEP when I try to connect to a secure network.

I can confirm this bug in Kubuntu 9.10 latest updates,
