nm-tool says the following for my ipw2200(and wired too!):
NetworkManager Tool

  Wireless Networks (* = Current Network)
    free4all:        Infrastructure Mode, Freq 0.000 MHz, Strength
87%, Encrypted (WPA)
    2WIRE970:        Infrastructure Mode, Freq 0.000 MHz, Strength
29%, Encrypted (WEP)
    2WIRE138:        Infrastructure Mode, Freq 0.000 MHz, Strength
27%, Encrypted (WEP)

-----------------

nm-applet shows the 'networkworks', but selecting a WPA one borks. 
Appears that nm-applet only (really) knows about WEP (ie. none of the
pull-downs have WPA entries).
