I am running Gutsy with atheros wireless and following packages:

network-manager 0.6.5-0ubuntu12
network-manager-gnome 0.6.5-0ubuntu9
network-manager-openvpn 0.3.2svn2342-1ubuntu2
network-manager-pptp 0.6.5+svnhead2574-0ubuntu1
network-manager-vpnc 0.6.4svn2422-0ubuntu3

and I am unable to connect to a leap network using nm-applet. The wireless network does not appear automatically, so I have to manually choose 'connect to other network', set essid, choose leap, and put in the authentication information, and key management (WPA-EAP in my case), and click ok. Nm-applet just displays the rotating busy icon, and never connects.

I have wpasupplicant 0.6.0-3 installed, and can connect to the leap network using the following config file:
#/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
        scan_ssid=1
        ssid="MYNETWORK"
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        eap=LEAP
        identity="MYIDENTITY"
        password="MYPASSWORD"
}

command: wpa_supplicant -D madwifi -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i ath0
I then run dhclient ath0, and everything works fine.
