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...
