No, it does not work: I have either the passphrase, or the Hex key (for 64 or 128bit) option - and I have no clue what the hex key for my passphrase is - and
in latest NM, you should be able to input *ASCII password* into the "40/128bit key" - if you enter 5 or 13 ascii characters (the password), the OK button is enabled, at least for me. no reference to "hex" in the name of the option - if you have, you probably don't have the right version of NM.

the "passphrase" option is big nonsense and nobody ever uses it. (what it does is that it repeats the passphrase to get 128bit string, and hashes that with md5 or something - definitely not what you want)
Despite the fact that it still offers the wrong encryption to enter your secrets...
are you saying that it only offers WPA for WEP-encrypted networks? if so, that is a different bug, please report it
