I also installed the version from jaunty (0.7.1~rc4.1-0ubuntu2) and it works.
The version in karmic is still a development version 0.8~a~git.20080911...
(there was no release after 0.7.1 as far as I see from network-manager, the
latest tag I see in their git repo is 0.7.1).
I see such a commit in their git repo, dated to June 5 2009:
wifi: remove obsolete code clearing SSID and encryption
Leave it to wpa_supplicant now; if we can't trust the supplicant to
handle this, then we need to fix the supplicant. It knows better than
us what needs to happen with drivers, and it already clears the
encryption keys anyway.
This seems to be related to our problem. So SSID and encryption related things
may be disfunctional in the current state. I'm not sure they have fixed
supplicant from that time on (they don't state it later in the git log).
Maybe it would be worth trying whether installing from the git repo with the
commit above and without it make any difference...
