As long as you have a wireless card that supports WPA, and a driver that reports the correct capability values to NetworkManager, then yes it works. At this time, the following drivers are known to support WPA and NetworkManager with varying reliability: ipw2100 (fully supports) hostap (fully supports) ipw2200 (supports, but requires enc_capa patch scheduled for 2.6.17) madwifi (supports, but recent snapshots are _very_ sketchy) bcm43xx (supports, but driver is somewhat sketchy) I've personally tested with madwifi (snapshot from late Jan) and ipw2100 against a Linksys WRT54G and an Airport Extreme.
