wpa_supplicant does not require any configuration on Ubuntu though to
work with NetworkManager. The whole thing "just works." I realize that
it doesn't work for you, but there should be no tweaking required, just
entering the correct settings. You might see about running
wpa_supplicant SEPARATELY to see if you can connect with it. If you can,
that would be more information to use to debug NetworkManager.

Incidentally, what sort of wireless card do you have? One requirement is
that the card work properly with wireless extensions (-Dwext in
wpa_supplicant).
