Binary package hint: network-manager

I'm using ndiswrapper with the vendors driver, and I'm trying to use my usb wireless card :
;; net8187b.inf 
;;
;; Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter

The access point is configured this way:
WPA: WPA-PSK (No Server)
WPA mode: WPA/WPA2 mixed mode
Encryption technique:  AUTO for WPA, AES for WPA2

I enter my ESSID chose "WPA personal" and use my Pre-shared Key (PSK) on nm-applet
It keeps asking the password and never connects. I also tried with "WPA2 personal" and other options and they all fail.

Is there a way to connect on WPA2 with this configuration on access point???
I'm sure I typed the (PSK) on the right place with the right value... did i had to type the generated key??? 
I tryed without the encriptation and the wireless card worked just fine so in think ndiswrapper is working ok.


ps:
I looked the windows configuration and it says its connected through WPA2, (AP says wpa/wpa2 mixed mode).
When I did some manual configuration through ifconfig, iwconfig the network manager lost the wireless networks options like they vanished ...
It became slower too, when trying to apply changes I have to wait several minutes


Im using Ubuntu Hard 8.04 beta

     Network adapter:  Encore 802.11b/g wireless usb adapter (Chipset realtek RTL8187B)
     (There is also a  wired network card on pc)

Here is a file I used to get it working on slax (backtrack):

------From /etc/wpa_suplicant.conf ( on slax )

# This line enables the use of wpa_cli which is used by rc.wireless
# if possible (to check for successful association)
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
# By default, only root (group 0) may use wpa_cli
ctrl_interface_group=0
