A problem with networkmanager and wpa_supplicant

Hello, all.
I've installed and configured my wireless card and I'm using Knetworkmanager to manage my wireless/wired network connections. Everything worked fine at home ( i have wireless access point with WEP encryption ), however when I try to connect with network manager to a wireless network at my university knetworkmanager fails, but I'm still able to connect to it using iwtools without any trouble.

NetworkManager stalls for some time at this stage:
Code:
Activation Stage: Configuring Device
then quits.The university wireless network has multiple access points with no encryption, just plain old wireless b network.
After poking around with the list of running processes and reading some logs I figured out that the problem with wpa_supplicant. But I don't know what to do about it.It's not even should be there since the network has no encryption.
Here is a log containing the information about network manager(in the few following comments):

AirYork
There must be a past York U student in my business condo in Peterborough because all of the laptops in the office that have wireless occasionally pick up an ad-hoc network called AirYork.

Perhaps this person mis configured their wireless once and left it that way?

Is AirYork really an ad-hoc network?

My Vonage WiFi phone tries to connect to it but 'fails'. This is likely because there is no DHCP service on the ad-hoc network.
