Messages appeared to be saying that the cabled connection was OK, but the 
wireless connection was disabled by 'killswitch'.  Since the hardware switch 
is in a position where it can get knocked off, I played around with it until 
Messages accepted that it is on.  However, when I got the authentication 
dialog there is no entry possibility for WPA!  This is definitely a 
regression.  I've had WPA with knetworkmanager before, I'm sure.

Oddly enough, ifconfig says it has an ipv6 address, but no ipv4 address.  
Meanwhile, the icon on the systray still tells me that the network is 
disabled.
