setting up WPA Personal (F9 & KDE 4.1 (from updates-testing))

[Michael Park]

Hi there,

I read here ( http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3462 ) that KDE 4.1's
getting a plasmoid front-end to NetworkManager (which doesn't seem to
be in 'updates-testing' yet). Till that arrives, can someone either
point me to a howto or explain how I can go about setting up a WPA
connection for an Intel 4965 AGN wifi adapter (Thinkpad T61).

I tried playing with 'system-config-network' and it seems to be
lacking any WPA configuration options. Can anyone help point me in the
right direction?

btw, here's my kernel version and output from 'nm-tool'. Let me know
if I can provide anything else that might be helpful in
troubleshooting. Thanks.
