[Bug 90075] cannot configure wireless access with static IP and WPA encryption using network-manager-gnome

[Dorota Kattowitz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome

I am using Feisty Herd 5 and I am trying to set up access to a wireless
network with WPA encryption and static IP address.

After I clicked the wireless icon on the top right corner and chose the
bottom item(static settings), I went to the setting of the wireless
port.

The window allow me to input static addresses, but it does NOT allow me
to specify WPA encryption at the same time (it only allow WEP).  I think
this is a very important feature.

Also I think it would be good if DHCP/static IP settings are attached to
the wireless connection (router) rather than the port itself because
when the computer travel to different wireless network areas, each
router have different encryption protocols, but it may also as well use
different IP assignment options (e.g. DHCP, BOOTP, static etc)
