Marking as a dupe of 973241; there is no need to keep two bug reports
about this, and bug 973241 already has a very clean looking patch; which
I intend to upload real soon now, provided we can get an ack from
upstream. Definitely something to deal with before release.

Title:
Can't use WPA with ipw2200
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
If some driver implements wext interface and nl80211 interface the
latter is preferred. With the ipw2200 driver this implementation
doesn't yield any encryption capabilites but the wext interface is
never consulted. If the order of the function calls is reversed in
wifi-utils.c the problem is solved for me and I dont have a regression
with ath5k.
