Two more questions:

- Can you please provide the output of "iwlist eth1 scan" and nm-tool when the 
appropriate network is in range cause an access point providing WEP and WPA 
at the same time is very uncommon (impossible?) ;-). Perhaps thare are two 
APs in range, one with WEP and one with WPA, but both with the same essid.

- Do you use an ipw3945 wireless card?
