Comment(by mbletsas):

 Using Ubuntu 8.04 on an XO (with the OLPC kernel from build 767), I
 observe that Network Manager doesn't always report the encryption on our
 WPA-PSK ESSIDs properly (networks show in the list without the encryption
 padlock). An attempt to associate with the WPA-PSK network fails in that
 case.

 The problem is intermittent. If the network is listed as encrypted,
 attempting to associate with it succeeds.

 The problem seems to be in NM's parsing of the encryption info since
 iwlist scan reports the correct information for the WPA-PSK ESSIDs
