Yes, I have to force it, because up until today the system was using
WEP. However, I found out through experimentation that my wireless
network was acting horribly flaky, and I managed to track it to the WEP
key itself (when I removed the security, everything worked fine). So I
switched the access point to use WPA-PSK, as a better option than
leaving it wide open. But NetworkManager was still insisting it used
WEP, so I was trying to force it to switch. nm-applet allows manually
selecting WEP and a few other options, but not WPA-PSK with a specific
encryption cipher.
What really should be happening is NM should notice there is a
new/different encryption scheme and offer to let you enter it. You
shouldn't have to force it. If this is not happening, file a bug.
