Bug Description
I can only connect to my campus' wireless network by using nm-applet, where I can specify the "Key Type" as TKIP (not Auto or AES-CCMP).
KNetworkManager provides no option to specify the encryption protocol ("Key Type"), so I'm stuck with the following algorithm:
1. Quit KNetworkManager
2. Run nm-applet
3. Enter SSID, key, etc. by hand (nm-applet doesn't use KWallet)
4. Kill nm-applet (nm-applet doesn't have a "Quit" option)
5. Re-start KNetworkManger
So, can we have a drop-down box with choices of key update protocols (e.g. TKIP, AES-CCMP, Dynamic WEP)?

I have same same problem on my system, although it is not mandatory to knetworkmanager.
in addition, my wpa network is wep encrypted, and selecting it from the pulldown menu bring the wep key selection and doesnot allow me to configure WPA options.
