Right. You can't do WPA anything or Dynamic WEP with s-c-n yet since neither it nor the config file syntax supports it. > 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.

It just happens that you can use s-c-n to _configure_ the device right now until we get the connection editor save functionality implemented. > Googling for this problem suggested wrong key being supplied.

This will be available through the Connection editor; you'll be able to do exactly that through a button there, assuming you have the appropriate permissions.
