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>'
