Sorry there were a lot of mistakes in that which will make it unclear.
Try again...


2 things:

1) Connecting to my FON insecure signal does work (so it might be that).

2) I've noticed that a few times it has connected successfully (to my
FON secure signal). I forgot to mention that in the original report
because it is so rare, sorry.

However, by far the majority of times it does not connect and I get the 
symptoms described. Other devices have no problem connecting to it.
If you take a look at the partial syslog I attached initially you'll see what 
usually happens.


One other thing, since the most recent nm update a few days ago things
have changed slightly:

1) Now the nm icon often (but not always) doesn't appear in the status
bar (but it still connects to the insecure signal).

2) Now when I goto 'edit connections' or am prompted to enter my wifi
password the box is now empty, rather than filled with the long key I
posted above.

3) Also keys are no longer saved in seahorse at all (i.e. if I choose
not to save as a system setting. Perhaps this is the reason for the
point immediately above?)

4) Finally, if I do choose to save as a system setting, and I navigate
to etc/NetworkManager/system-settings, I can find a file in there which
has successfully saved the connection. But when I open the file I find
(on the key/password line) the dreaded "5eea414a9785dd... etc." instead
of my actual password.
