I am using madwifi for my Netgear 511T and haven't been able to get the
wpa_supplicant service to start properly. I think that is needed before
anything WPA will work at all in NM. I don't know for sure though. All the
SSIDs show up in the NM list but at very low signal strengths ... even when
I am right next to the AP.
