Encryption key: long string
Security mode:open #should be WPA-PSK
That looks to me like you are using WEP.
Mine on WPA2 looks like:
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
NetworkManager actually handles the keys:
NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0/wireless): connection 'GGGGG'
has security, and secrets exist. No new secrets needed.
NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'ssid' value 'GGGGG'
NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'scan_ssid' value '1'
NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'key_mgmt' value 'WPA-PSK'
NetworkManager: <info> Config: added 'psk' value '<omitted>'
