I just did 2 things: Disabled WEP and tried that while still running pinguy, no luck.
Just booted up a Live CD of an older version of Ultimate Edition, v2.3 which I think is either Jaunty or Karmic based.
With WEP still disabled, I'm in with absolutely no issues. Gonna boot back into pinguy (I even switched the install to pinguy x86 to see if that worked, nope) and see what nm-tool gets me..
Meanwhile, I'm gonna run it on Ultimate and see what I get so as to compare.
