Binary package hint: network-manager

Ubuntu jaunty (development branch).

How to reproduce:
1) In nm-applet, bring up the "Create New Wireless Network" dialog.
2) Specify a new network name and choose "WPA & WPA2 Personal" for security.
3) Specify a password and press Create.
4) On another computer, connect to the new ad-hoc network.

Expected behavior: the authentication dialog should prompt for a "WPA & WPA2 Personal" password.
Actual behavior: the authentication dialog prompts for a WEP key/passphrase. It is impossible to log on.

In my experience, the only security that works for an ad-hoc wireless network is WEP key/passphrase or no security, not WPA.
