I have kubuntu 8.10 beta 1 and have the same problem on my Thinkpad T42p
with Atheros Card. Network manager kde is not able to connect to
wireless LEAP that I have in my office. However, if I try to connect to
the same network manually by stopping network manager, I am able to
connect.

wpa_supplicant.conf file :

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1
update_config=1
network={
        ssid="XXX"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        eap=LEAP
        identity="XXXXXXXXXX"
        password="XXXXXX"
}

I am not sure why network-manager-kde fails to connect when I can do the
same using the above command lines.
