network manager cannot connect to WPA secured networks

[Eric O'Connor]

After a recent update, I click on a network I want to join, and instead of prompting me for a password (or remembering the old one), the network-manager immediately reports that it is disconnected. Further attempts are unsuccessful.

This is not a driver problem (I am typing this message on my wifi after disabling encryption). This worked as of 24 hours ago, before I applied updates.

From syslog:

I am seeing the same issues and it works fine when I am using 11.10 version.
