Bug Description

I have a Linksys WRT110 and network manager shows me a list of 9 different essid's from my neighborhood but it won't list mine. To work around I:

-Click on network manager
-Choose create new network
-Put my essid in the network name field
-choose WPA & WPA2 Personal
-Wait for the green lights to show up but the network manager times out
-Click cancel on the pop up asking to verify the password
-Click on Network Manager icon
-highlight my new network which is now in the list but it an Ad-HOC icon and an arrow to the right side
-Once I mouse over the essid another two of the same essids pop out to the right
-I choose one of them
-After I choose one I click on network manager again and now I can see my essid with the shield/security icon and when I click on it, my wireless connects and is stable until the next time I reboot.

I'm not sure where to file this or if I just have to live with it due to an issue with my router. Disabling WPA seems to resolve the issue and I haven't tried WEP.

How do I go about troubleshooting this?
