I have figured out how to configure the network manager applet to make it work (screenshot attached). The key was to manually select "Dynamic WEP" ("Automatic" does not work) for key type and other settings as in the image. When this is set once manually the applet will remember the settings.
Still I think it is not ideal since in the initial dialog asking for a network key it is not possible to select the right type (EAP). Since it is possible this is not really a bug anymore but maybe more "wishlist".
