cannot connect to WPA encrypted ad-hoc network using nm-applet

[discord]

Create a WPA encrypted ad-hoc network on a Windows 7 machine and turned on Internet Connection Sharing. I am unable to associate to the network using Lucid.

Furthermore, even without encryption, I cannot connect to the network with nm-applet. However, If I remove Network Manager and use iwconfig and dhclient, then I am able to connect to a *NON* - WPA encrypted ad-hoc network created in Windows 7.

Confirming; reassigning to NetworkManager since it's not an issue in the applet itself.

Let's track this separately from bug 322902 for now, in case there are some extra settings put in place by Windows 7 for an ICS connection (in other words, once bug 322902 is fixed; then we can see whether this one is fixed too).

Is this problem present in the two latest Ubuntu versions too?
