Madwifi-ng does not expose to NetworkManager that it supports WPA. The
NetworkManager author posted this patch:

}

NetworkManager also requires that the driver support the wireless
extensions API, unfortunately NetworkManager does not seem to communicate
properly with Madwifi using WEXT and I have to patch the application to
use the Madwifi driver directly.
I am sorry if this is a dupe, I searched and found no references to this.
