Two bugs here: first the ipw2x00 kernel issues that got fixed recently; one is the encryption capabilities issue that causes the grayed out menu items. The other bug is an NM bug, fixed by: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=50435e1d5deff17233f1de73ee030a5982e9fd05 which should be a safe backport. The NM fix is really the correct fix until the ipw2x00 driver gets ported to cfg80211 in the kernel. It's 10% of the way there, which is what was confusing NM.
