Here's what i did for wireless WPA(you have three options ):
A)
vim /etc/network/interfaces
add
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
(the only issue is it leaves you're hard drive in a bad state i.g.
device resource busy when shutting down);
B)
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid ?
wpa-bssid ?
wpa-psk ????????????????
wpa-key-mgmt ?
wpa-group ?
wpa-pairwise ?
wpa-proto ?
(this is nicer than "A" due to no device or resource busy
when shutting down);
more options are in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian
C)
vim /etc/network/interfaces
(comment and take everything out);
below info was taken from:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-July/msg00239.html
(I give them all the credit);
create a file that has this in it:
[802-11-wireless-security]
key-mgmt=none
wep-tx-keyidx=0
auth-alg=open
wep-key0=33b7af2400ba80f060f144e195
psk= ????????????????????
[connection]
id=Wireless connection 1
type=802-11-wireless
autoconnect=true
timestamp=0
[802-11-wireless]
ssid=102;111;111;98;97;114;
mode=infrastructure
channel=0
rate=0
tx-power=0
mtu=0
security=802-11-wireless-security
[ipv4]
method=manual
addresses1=192.168.1.2;24;192.168.1.1;
routes1=192.168.1.2;24;192.168.1.1;
ignore-dhcp-dns=false
then put this file in:
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/""
chmod 0400 "filenamethatyoucreated"
reboot
you should have internet during boot
with all of you're info reliably.
if you get confused you can always use
nm-system-settings
and
NetworkManager to test you're key file
to make sure it's working.
heres the finished results:

I found chmod 0400 was the key to making this mechanism
work.
(some reason my psk was being deleted when starting NetworkManager
every reboot)
