Quoting RH bugzilla entry: Basically when nl80211 support got added to ipw2x00, cipher suite reporting failed to be added to the driver, which means it reports that it doesn't support any encryption to any nl80211 clients, like NetworkManager. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg88069.html

Still true for the two latest kernels (3.3.5, 3.3.6).
Can you try: kernel-desktop-3.3.6-1.1.mga2 from: http://tmb.mine.nu/Mageia/Cauldron/bugs/5720/ http://tmb2.mine.nu/Mageia/Cauldron/bugs/5720/
Works fine.
And kernel-3.3.6-2.mga2 is now on primary mirror with the fix included.
