It should work with both. I just verified that nm-applet accepts and connects successfully with either the pre-shared-key (256bit hex key) or the ascii passphrase. Maybe you typed in the passphrase incorrectly. Could you please try again (delete the old stored key in gnome-keyring first using gnome-keyring-manager) with the ascii passphrase you setup on your WLan router. As the PSK is computed from the passphrase and the essid, maybe NM does not correctly detect/use the essid. Do you use a hidden essid? If so, does it work if you enabled essid broadcasting?
