I type 1234567890abc (the correct password and type) into
networkmanager when it asks after I tell it to connect, and hit enter,
and it fails, and I look what it used and it says it used some really
long string of completely unrelated characters.  I didn't observe if
it was limited to hexadecimal or full alphanumeric characters, but i
know it included at least up to 'c'..
..so then I go to 'edit wireless networks' and find that network and
go to the password, and change it and click 'ok', and I go straight
back to the same window immediately and click 'show password' and it's
another long string of completely unrelated characters.
networkmanager has full access to my keyring and all that, so I don't
see why it promptly ignores all the passwords I give it.

It was my uncle's WPA network..
I'll try to reproduce it and log it the first opportunity I get, but
what is my complete syslog, or rather, where is it, what file?

Another thing I could attempt is setting up my desktop to admin my
router and go through all the security methods there..  It'd be a
little bit of a pain, but I suppose it's worth it to help nail down
this bug.
