I can reproduce by going to Manage Connections, selecting the wireless 
AP I want and clicking the Edit button. At this point a dialog box comes 
up that says "No agents were available for this request". The title of 
the dialog box is "Error - KDE Control Module" . Click "Ok" and the 
"Edit Network Connection" box does come up. Select "Wireless Security" 
tab and enter WPA/WPA2 Personal password. As soon as I click "Ok" 
NetworkManager goes haywire.

And so on...


At this point the only way out is to kill -9 NetworkManager. WPA2 
password never gets saved but I am able to connect if I type the 
password in each time when the dialog box pops up asking for the password.
