Bug Description

Procedure:
 - 8.04 beta is loaded in LiveCD mode;
 - Wifi network requires WPA-PSK passphrase;

I tried to use GUI interface of Network Manager to connect to Wifi network.
The network is seen in networks list. GUI ask passphrase and try to connect. But can not establish the connection.

HW: ThinkPad Z60t (Atheros 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter)

It is possible to connect the network by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
but it is impossible by GUI.

After connection by WPAHowTo the Network Manager icon displays "not connected state" but the connection is present and works.
