Do you mean that the wifi card in your machine is an Orinoco or PRISM 2/3 card? If so, then yes, there are problems with wpa_supplicant's interaction with the orinoco driver that's probably driving your card, but that's a problem with the orinoco driver and wpa_supplicant, not NetworkManager itself. Also if you are using the orinoco driver, make sure you have the TKIP-capable firmware. The fact that you're getting a dialog about WEP may mean the card isn't seeing the AP as WPA-capable. If on the other hand you're using the hostap driver (since orinoco and hostap can both drive some of the same hardware) there's likely a different set of driver issues. I'd suggest taking this up on the wpa_supplicant mailing list which you can find at www.w1.fi.
