[NetworkManager] Greyed out WAP option
 

Hello,

Is there a known reason why a listed WAP in NetworkManager (Ubuntu 9.04) would be grey where the radial button is disabled? It seems it does not have a problem connecting to an open WAP however the one in question is using '802.1x'. My first assumption would be due to the drivers not being properly supported for such a connection, the card on hand being 'BCM4306'.

In the past the machine was using 8.04 and switched due to the fact of inability to connect to the same WAP through a manual setup as the only wireless security option listed would be LEAP and PEAP would not show up within NetworkManager as an option.

As mentioned I am mainly curious what causes a listed WAP to be greyed out as I am sure there would be a trigger or something it can't detect to cause it. I have attempted searches into this and I have yet to see a similar situation although it sounds like it might be a common thing.

All Suggestions, Comments, Slanders, and Ideas are appreciated.
