Public bug reported:
Lo,
I'm have a problem with network-manager[-gnome].
My setup is fairly simple. I have a Linksys AP, WPA enabled, with a
hidden SSID and TKIP PSK.
If I add the appropriate informatie using the gnome applet, it tries to
connect but never succeeds. After it fails, it falls back to a default
wifi connecting in the area, which happens to be open. (maybe this is
relevant?)
However, if I setup wpasupplicant properly
(/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and a proper stanza in
/etc/network/interfaces), it all works perfectly well. I had to add
"ap_scan=2" and "scan_ssid" thought. So the hardware is working properly
and the PSK is entered correctly.
The critical part from the syslog looks like this:

Here you can see that @ 18:00:53 it is trying to associate with the
SSID. @18:01:01, for some reason, the link goes down and @18:01:53 it is
falling back to 'eth0/default' which succeeds.
Is there a way to suppy wpa_supplicant options via network-manager?
Tnx,
Marc.
