Network Manager Applet shows Wrong Wireless Connection Status

I just changed routers from an 802.11g router to an 802.11n router. With the old router, network manager would always automatically connect to my network on start-up and display the 4 blue bars to indicate that I was connected. Now, with the new router, I am still able to connect to the network on start-up. However, the network manager applet indicates that I am not connected to any network (shows the two computer screens with the "x" between them).

When changing routers, I also changed:

-- My WPA-Personal password and
-- The encryption type from "TKIP" to "AES"

I have the following packages installed:

NetworkManager-gnome-0.8.0-6.git20100408.fc12.x86_64
NetworkManager-glib-0.8.0-6.git20100408.fc12.x86_64
NetworkManager-0.8.0-6.git20100408.fc12.x86_64

Also, output of ifconfig:

Any ideas as to why network manager no longer recognizes the connection after changing the router/encryption method?
