** This bug has been flagged as a security vulnerability

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: network-manager
- 
- Ubuntu jaunty (development branch).
  
  How to reproduce:
  1) In nm-applet, bring up the "Create New Wireless Network" dialog.
  2) Specify a new network name and choose "WPA & WPA2 Personal" for security.
  3) Specify a password and press Create.
  4) On another computer, connect to the new ad-hoc network.
  
  Expected behavior: the authentication dialog should prompt for a "WPA & WPA2 
Personal" password.
  Actual behavior:      the authentication dialog prompts for a WEP 
key/passphrase. It is impossible to log on.
  
  In my experience, the only security that works for an ad-hoc wireless
  network is WEP key/passphrase or no security, not WPA.
