I seem to remember finding a way around it. I think the problem was that if
the system had once decided that a network was using WEP, you could never
change its min.d But I can't remember any more details. I suggest you close
this as I doubt I can reproduce it.

Subject: [Bug 554138] Re: Network manager fails to offer WPA option
Hi Jon,
do you still see this or any other issue with your Ralink wireless?
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
** Tags added: rt2800pci
** Description changed:
+ Network controller [0280]: RaLink RT2860 [1814:0781]
+ Kernel driver in use: rt2860
+ Kernel modules: rt2860sta
+
Binary package hint: network-manager
I have been trying to get an ASUS 1000H to connect to WPA protected
wireless networks, under UNR. I was originally using Jaunty, but though
this detects that a network requires WPA, it fails to connect. I
upgraded to karmic when it became available hoping that a kernel +
modules upgrade would contain a fix, but I now find that when I try to
connect to a WPA protected network, I don't even get the chance to
provide a WPA password. The only options provided are two types of WEP
(40 and 128) and something else called LEAP which I don't understand at
all. The bug I'm trying to get a workaround for is the RA2860 problem
which seems to have been extant for about a year now. But this report
principally concerns the NM, which seems to have regressed to the poiont
where it doesn't even believe in the existence of WPA.
Not surprsingly, this report has been submitted whilst connected via
WEP, since I can;'t do it at all in the circumstances in which the bug
occurs.
