Okay, a couple of comments about this.

I had to generate the hex key for this to connect to a WPA encrypted
connection, but since this it's just worked, with the following caveats:

Each time I un-hibernate, I have to manually select the network to
reconnect.

I had to restart nm-applet after the upgrade and now I'm seeing the
following output on the terminal:

        [rodd at localhost ~]$ 
        ** (nm-applet:7127): WARNING **: Found connection Auto tundra to
        activate at /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/0.
        
        (nm-applet:7127): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **:
        g_signal_emit_valist: assertion `signal_id > 0' failed
        
        [rodd at localhost ~]$ 

And finally (and this is nitpicking in the whole scheme of things) the
nm-applet icon is horrible.  It's like the old nm-applet icon, except
that it's blurry and looks like it's been resized from an icon that's
way to small (see attached small screenshot).
