I suggest this might actually be an issue with wpasupplicant. I cannot do a connection with that either.

This is my output when trying to connect with wpa_supplicant - my key was generated with wpa_passphrase.

aether@aether-laptop:/etc$ sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

FYI, I have two PCs using different cards with the issue, one with an Atheros AR5001X+ and the other with an Atheros AR242x, I have Jaunty_Proposed in my repository and all up to date. Both can connect to open or WEP protected networks.

I did a search for bugs in wpasupplicant on launchpad but couldn't find a relevant one. I can start attaching random log files if it will help? Does network manager just use wpasupplicant? If so, I suggest this would be a critical bug there.
