No. I do not use an encrypted network, but i still did see NetworkManager
information messages relating to lwpa_supplicant. In the GUI the places
where it tends to stop is mostly 28% and occasionally at 57% (Getting IP

I have a broadcom chip (BCM4310) that works with ndiswrapper if that makes
any difference.
