Comment(by carrano):

 In build 640 we can connect to a WPA AP as long as we enter the
 hexadecimal key (instead of the passphrase) in the dialog box .

 Disconnecting - by clicking on the AP icon or using the "Disconnect"
 option from the drop down menu - and then reconnecting, also worked (in
 this case you do not need to re-enter the passowrd).

 In this test, after rebooting the XO automatically reassociated to the
 encrypted AP, again without the need of providing the key (which is stored
 in /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/network.cfg).

 One probably undesirable behavior is that the lock symbol is not attached
 to the AP's icon in the mesh view after the reboot (i.e. the AP is
 displayed as open).

 Hitting cancel on the dialog box did not cause any problems in the test.
 The XO could still associate before canceling the dialog box many times.
