That's really interesting because this kind of error should never
happen. However, you claim that the wireless device should support WPA
(which I have no trouble believing, it really should), but nm-applet
seems to disagree, which sounds quite a lot like bug 908380 specific to
the ipw2200 driver. Marking this bug as a dupe of 908380.

Title:
nm-applet crashed with SIGABRT in g_test_init()
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Occured on a mostly fresh install of 12.04 (installed by first using
the mini .iso and then $ sudo apt-get install ubuntu).
Initially, the nm-applet was not able to manage my wi-fi device (eth1). As a
workaround, I installed wicd from the Ubuntu Software Centre and uninstalled
network-manager via the terminal
$ sudo apt-get remove network-manager
Later, I decided I wanted to try and debug my issue with network-manager. I
uninstalled wicd and re-installed network-manager
$ sudo apt-get remove wicd
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
Before restarting, I checked /etc/network/interfaces and found eth1
listed there. The NetworkManager website says that devices listed in
/etc/network/interfaces are not managed on Debian and Ubuntu, so I
commented out the lines for my device and rebooted.
After logging in, I noticed that the nm-applet was now able to list
nearby networks, but some networks were greyed out. I suspect the
greyed out networks were using WPA authentication while the rest of
the networks were either WEP or unsecured. (This card does support
WPA/WPA2, however).
I clicked on the option "Create a new network", and then network
manager (and the applet?) crashed.
After that, I tried
$ sudo iwlist scan
which worked as expected.
Then I tried
$ iwconfig eth1 essid <my network>
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not permitted.
