At work I have a host of wireless networks within range. The only one I am interested in is our own. If I enter wrong password/key in network manager it never returns saying it was unable to connect, instead it just tries some of the other networks. Since one of those networks is open it always connects to that instead, which I find rather frustrating. Only way to be allowed to retype the network password/key is to delete it with gconf, which I don't think is a very userfriendly option. If I manually tell NetworkManager to connect to a specific network it should give me error dialogs until I am actually connected to that network.
Can you post the output of /var/log/messages after starting NetworkManager and after you've tried once to connect to your access point using "Other wireless networks..."? Thanks!
Never connected using 'Other Wireless Networks' before, just tried the dialog that pops up when you choose your network of choice from the list. With Other Wireless networks I was able to log in today. Thanks. On the other hand with the dialog that pops up when you just choose the network from the list seems even more broken now, with current devel packages the 'Login to network' button is greyed out no matter what. (attaching screenshot)

128-bit Hex WEP keys have 26 characters, but I counted 28 in your screenshot. Are you sure that's the right key?
it is a bogus key, I altered it heavily (by random key pressing and deleting) before taking the shot as I felt it would be kinda stupid to post a shot with our actual key in it :) Switching to any of the two other options (passphrase or ascii) it is also still grey.
Ok, the greyed-out OK button should be fixed in CVS HEAD and will also be in an FC4 update right after FC4 comes out.
