It seems that I was able to create an auto-wireless setup via NetworkManager, but there seems to be a problem. I am required to use WPA/WPA2 Personal connection, and I have set it up and added the passphrase, however, when attempting to connect, I am given a popup asking for only WEP choices - I am never allowed to choose a WPA/WPA2 Personal passphrase from the dropdown list. What to do?
