Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

NM fails to connect to a WPA encrypted network.

The nm-applet shows a connection attempt, and then finally fails,
showing the "!" in the icon.

There are tons of threads related to this problem (but for older ubuntu 
distros), see for example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/205000

I don't know if it is a problem with ndiswrapper, with wpa_supplicant or
with NM.

Note that I also tried this with Karmic Koala, where there was the same
problem, while the problem didn't existed in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
Jackalope (indeed it showed up when I did the upgrade: Jaunty -> Karmic,
and didn't get fixed when I upgraded again Karmic -> Lucid).

Regards.
