[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#575014: network-manager: Impossible to connect to FreeBox in WPA (TKIP+AES) mode

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8-1
Severity: normal
My ISP provides a box (FreeBox) that acts as an ADSL modem, 100Mbps,
WiFi access point and more. For WiFi security it supports 4 modes:
* WEP
* WPA (TKIP)
* WPA (AES/CCMP)
* WPA (TKIP + AES)
They recommend setting it to WPA (TKIP + AES). I did so and could
connect to the WiFi network from a Windows XP laptop and a Leopard Mac
Mini, but not from my Debian EeePC. See the syslog extracts below.
So I then tried WPA (AES/CCMP) and I could finally connect with Debian.
The Windows and Mac machines could still connect without
reconfiguration. Now I can switch the FreeBox between the two modes and
while the Windows and Mac machines can connect with no configuration
change in either mode, the Debian machine can only connect in AES/CCMP
mode.
So it seems NetworkManager (or wpa-supplicant?) is confused by the TKIP
/ AES dual mode.
About the FreeBox: mine is the FreeBox ADSL v5. It is known to run Linux
though I don't have any login access to it.

Here's the syslog extract:
