I second that. I did eventually get knetworkmanager to work (at first it didn't detect any networks even when wireless assistant did - separate bug).
However, there's no reason for the out-of-the-box tools, i.e. wireless assistant and system settings, not to support this common encryption standard when the functionality already exists... it just makes this facet of k/ubuntu seem immature, and adds another hassle on the way to getting a system up and running. -- Can not set up WPA-PSK in wlassistant https://launchpad.net/bugs/63634 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
