    c = settings.WpaPsk(ssid, options.wpa_pass)

I tinkered super calls in
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/networkmanager/applet/settings.py
now, this bit of code executes but it still doesn't connect.

It looks like as it is this code never worked.

I gonna investigate in the git upstream.

Note : the 0.8.1 version worked flawlessly for me.

The code is just new in the commit http://repo.or.cz/w/cnetworkmanager.git?a=blobdiff;f=networkmanager/applet/settings.py;fp=networkmanager/applet/settings.py;hb=c34f8a44a469b7a3e22df55438638b0d4ae5cc4a;hpb=02f0f188473cf1b0ba46cb2e9dcb079b2429b5a6

I have contacted upstream about it.
