Possible clue to NM+WPA problems

[Anne Wilson]

This laptop got Fedora 11 installed about a week ago.  At that time it was 
working with wireless, NM controlled, talking to a Netgear router.  The 
connection was smooth and pretty well trouble-free.

Yesterday I moved to another part of the house where wireless is provided by a 
Netgear router acting as a switch.  In theory it's the same model as the other 
one, but it's actually slightly older.  NM can't connect to this one at all.  
It sees it, it says it has 95% strength, but it can't get the WPA key to work.

Looking at the setup screens for the two routers, the one that works well with 
Fedora has the setting WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK, which I use.  The one that doesn't 
offers only WPA-PSK - presumably the older standard.  Could it be that NM is 
designed to work with WPA2?
