As far as I understood, WPA-PSK cannot be used via system-config-network for now? Then probably, the fact that my AP is configured for WPA-PSK is the reason I have problems configuring it via s-c-n. The problem is that I can't get it working through the s-c-n, for some mysterious reasons: I enter the same passphrase as I enter into nm-applet's prompt. The AP is associated with; but the 'dhclient eth1' (run as a part of 'ifup eth1') just hangs indefinitely. In /var/log/messages, there are repeated DHCPREQUEST lines logged. The same card/AP/passphrase work with NM, though. Googling for this problem suggested wrong key being supplied. I modified NM to output the passphrase it supplies to wpa_supplicant in clear text into /var/log/messages; it was the same as the one I entered into s-c-n (tried both ASCII and HEX variants). It would be nice if I could ask NM to publish its settings into system: e.g. have a check box in the passphrase dialog that instructs it to publish the settings system-wide.
