Not sure if you are missing some package (wpasupplicant?) but I
certainly have WPA2 on my network manager - I have not moved to wicd
so cannot check show you, but it certainly was there as I used it to
connect to my network.
Personally I prefer wicd (I never got network manager happy under kde,
and also found wicd plays a little nicer). You cannot have both
installed, but its simple enough to switch between them if you are
online (though it might be worth doing an aptitude download for each
so that you have both local in case you have problems)
