Hello,

I encountered the same bug on Feisty with my Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 card 
and WAP encrypted network.
Only WEP keys could be entered through the network manager interface. 
Commenting out everything unrelated to "lo" in /etc/network/interfaces, adding 
the /etc/default/wpasupplicant as suggested and switching the SSID broadcast on 
did the trick. 

Maybe this last point is related to this bug :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/50214
or the third point of this post :
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager#head-d34a5c8e736bbaaa2f9447b3934c46a00577a6dc

Many thanks for the workaround anyway.

Philippe

Unless all entries but lo related ones are commented out from 
/etc/network/interfaces network manager does not show a wifi icon and therefore 
does not allow you to connect to wpa encryted networks
