Bug #348275 goes in many directions, focusing on some specific WL NIC drivers, or stating "can't connect to anything but open networks", or discussing the issue of having simultaneously 2 frontends to Network Manager... which is not my case.

I opened a separate bug report because what I noticed is simpler both to understand and describe :

- On 4 different laptops that I have upgraded from Kubuntu Intrepid to Jaunty (final, not a beta or RC) :

- All having different WL NICs and drivers. All managing properly WPA2 with Knetworkmanager in Intrepid.

- All of them using the KDE plasma Network Manager controller in Jaunty, all of them with Knetworkmanager removed.

- None of them supports WPA2 anymore using Plasma NM widget. All of them still support WPA.

- Plasma NM widget doesn't even show a "WPA2" choice in the encryption choice box. So I suspect the issue to be either there or in Jaunty's NetworkManager itself. I don't believe this to be an issue with any specific WL NIC driver issue.

That's why I opened a separate bug report. I found the previous one was going in too many different directions and it's thread of comments was a really complex mess, where the description of the problem I saw on 4 different machines is rather simple and perfectly reproductible...
