Sorry, I wasn't clear.  What I meant was that it wasn't
working for me.  I've also figured that out - it needed a more
recent version of wpa_supplicant.  I was running 0.4.x which
doesn't implement the AP_SCAN command (it is only in the 0.5.x
series).  I upgraded to 0.5.x and NetworkManager is now
working with WPA, although I did find a bug.  If you
have BOOTPROTO=dhcp explicitly in the ifcfg-xxx file,
NetworkManager will not use DHCP - there is a test with
the sense of the comparison wrong.  When I get a few
minutes I'll test a fix and send it to the NetworkManager
folks.
